CVE-2026-32256

Description

# Summary music-metadata's ASF parser (`parseExtensionObject()` in `lib/asf/AsfParser.ts:112-158`) enters an infinite loop when a sub-object inside the ASF Header Extension Object has `objectSize = 0`. ## Root Cause When objectSize is 0: 1. `remaining = 0 - 24 = -24` 2. `tokenizer.ignore(-24)` moves the read position backward by 24 bytes 3. `extensionSize -= 0` (loop counter never decreases) 4. `while (extensionSize > 0)` never exits 5. The same 24-byte header is re-read infinitely This is the same pattern as CVE-2026-31808 (GHSA-5v7r-6r5c-r473) in file-type - strtok3's `AbstractTokenizer.ignore()` accepts negative values without validation. ## Affected Methods - `parseFile()` - HANGS (FileTokenizer inherits vulnerable ignore()) - `parseBuffer()` - HANGS (BufferTokenizer inherits vulnerable ignore()) - `parseStream()` - NOT affected (ReadStreamTokenizer has own ignore() that throws RangeError) ## Impact A 100-byte crafted .asf file permanently hangs any application using parseFile() or parseBuffer(). music-metadata has 2.2M weekly npm downloads. ## Suggested Fix Validate `objectSize >= minimumHeaderSize` before calculating the payload. Or fix strtok3's `AbstractTokenizer.ignore()` to reject negative values.
