Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GNOME Rhythmbox version 0.11.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a segmentation fault and crash, by providing a playlist (.pls) file with a long Title field. This might be related to the g hash table lookup function in b-playlist-manager.c.

Recommendations For GNOME Rhythmbox version 0.11.5, consider avoiding the use of playlist files with long Title fields until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of such files to prevent the denial of service.
