90’s Nostalgia: CD Metadata Security Snafu
Kevin Backhouse uncovers a security issue in Libcue, a CD metadata parsing library, that could potentially allow arbitrary code execution. Debian releases fixes for this ’90s nostalgia-infused security snafu.
Hot Take:
When you think of a ’90s nostalgia trip, you might think of flannel, grunge music, or even Friends reruns, not a security vulnerability in a CD metadata parsing library. Well, strap in, folks, because Kevin Backhouse has taken us back in time with the discovery of an out-of-bounds array access issue in Libcue. This ain’t your regular trip down memory lane. It’s a potential arbitrary code execution nightmare dressed in a ’90s disguise. So, pull out those band tees, dust off your old CDs, and get ready for the ride.
