DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in TagLib, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) in
an application using the library.

1) An error within the "parse()" function (ogg/xiphcomment.cpp) when
parsing certain data can be exploited to cause a crash via a
specially crafted OGG file.

2) A division by zero error within the "analyzeCurrent()" function
(ape/apeproperties.cpp) when parsing sampleRate can be exploited to
cause a crash via a specially crafted OGG file.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.7. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Fixed in the GIT repository.
