~/Downloads
, it is then automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use libcue to parse the file. The file exploits the vulnerability in libcue to gain code execution. This issue is patched in version 2.3.0. (CVE-2023-43641)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.

vulnerable to out-of-bounds array access. A user of the GNOME desktop environment can be exploited by
downloading a cue sheet from a malicious webpage. Because the file is saved to `~/Downloads`, it is then
automatically scanned by tracker-miners. And because it has a .cue filename extension, tracker-miners use
