CVE-2026-1766: Gnome Localsearch

Medium severity, CVSS 6.1. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

A flaw was found in GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor, specifically within the tracker-extract-mp3 component. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability occurs when processing specially crafted MP3 files containing malformed ID3v2.3 COMM (Comment) tags. An attacker could exploit this by providing a malicious MP3 file, leading to a denial of service (DoS), which causes an application crash, and potentially disclosing sensitive information from the heap memory.

• Gnome Localsearch: affected versions not specified
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux: version 8.0 only; version 9.0 only; version 10.0 only
