CVE-2016-9264
Buffer overflow in the printMP3Headers function in listmp3.c in Libming 0.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted mp3 file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.71%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
