CVE-2012-1584 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the mid function in toolkit/tbytevector.cpp in TagLib 1.7 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file header field in a media file, which triggers a large memory allocation.. EPSS estimates a 2.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
