DescriptionNVD

A flaw was found in the GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor tracker-extract-mp3 component. A remote attacker could exploit this heap buffer overflow vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MP3 file containing malformed ID3 tags. This incorrect length calculation during the parsing of performer tags can lead to a read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a crash or enabling information disclosure.

AnalysisAI

Heap buffer overflow in GNOME localsearch (formerly tracker-miners) tracker-extract-mp3 component on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8/9/10, Ubuntu, Debian, and SUSE allows remote attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds heap read by delivering a malformed MP3 file with crafted ID3 performer tags, leading to crashes (DoS) or disclosure of process memory contents. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the EPSS score of 0.19% (9th percentile) plus CISA SSVC 'Exploitation: none' indicate low real-world exploitation activity despite the 8.1 CVSS rating. Vendor patches are available across Red Hat (RHSA), Ubuntu USN-8019-1, Debian, and SUSE-SU-2026:0780/21854.

Technical ContextAI

GNOME localsearch - the renamed tracker-miners project - is the desktop indexing daemon that scans user files (Music, Downloads, Documents) to populate the Tracker SPARQL database used by Files (Nautilus), GNOME Shell search, and music applications. The tracker-extract-mp3 helper parses ID3v1/ID3v2 metadata frames embedded in MP3 files. The defect maps to CWE-805 (Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value): when parsing performer tags, the extractor computes the frame length incorrectly, so the subsequent read overruns the allocated heap buffer. Because the indexer auto-fires when a file appears in a watched directory, the vulnerable code is reachable without the user opening or clicking the file. The Red Hat CPEs cover RHEL 8/9/10, but the bug lives in the upstream GNOME component shipped by every major Linux distribution that ships the GNOME desktop.

RemediationAI

Apply the vendor-released patches as soon as they are available for your distribution: on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8/9/10 install the localsearch/tracker-miners update referenced in the Red Hat advisory at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-1767; on Ubuntu install the package update from USN-8019-1 at https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-8019-1; on SUSE apply SUSE-SU-2026:0780 (https://www.suse.com/support/update/SUSE-SU-2026:0780/) or SUSE-SU-2026:21854 (https://www.suse.com/support/update/SUSE-SU-2026:21854/); on Debian track bug #1126910 for the fixed package. As a temporary compensating control where patching is delayed, you can disable MP3 extraction by removing or masking the tracker-extract-mp3 binary or by editing /etc/tracker3/extract-rules.d/ to exclude audio/mpeg - the trade-off is that MP3 metadata will no longer appear in GNOME search and music apps. A heavier-handed workaround is masking the user-level tracker-miners-3 / localsearch systemd services (systemctl --user mask localsearch-3.service), which disables all desktop file indexing and breaks GNOME Shell search results until reversed.
