Mageia 2023-0301 tackles vulnerabilities in libcue, providing enhancements for KDE users to mitigate potential exploit attempts.
Versions 2.2.1 and prior are vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access

Summary

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. (CVE-2023-43641)
