libcue: libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets
CVE-2023-43641 is fixed in 2 products on 1 platform, first by libcue2 2.2.1-2ubuntu0.1, released October 9, 2023. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
libcue provides an API for parsing and extracting data from CUE sheets. Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to `~/Downloads`, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution. This issue is patched in version 2.3.0.
