Summary

CVE-2026-1767 is a medium-severity Buffer Access with Incorrect Length Value (CWE-805) vulnerability in Redhat Enterprise Linux. Its CVSS base score is 5.6 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 16th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Vulnerability Data

A flaw was found in the GNOME localsearch (previously known as tracker-miners) MP3 Extractor `tracker-extract-mp3` component. A remote attacker could exploit this heap buffer overflow vulnerability by providing a specially crafted MP3 file containing malformed ID3 tags. This incorrect length…

calculation during the parsing of performer tags can lead to a read beyond the allocated buffer, potentially causing a Denial of Service (DoS) due to a crash or enabling information disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and static analysis) directly finds incorrect length values used in sequential buffer accesses.

SA-8 Security and Privacy Engineering Principles partial match

Secure engineering principles require explicit bounds checking and correct length calculations when performing buffer operations.

SI-10 Information Input Validation partial match

Input validation rejects or corrects malformed length values supplied from external sources before they reach buffer operations.

SI-16 Memory Protection partial match

Memory protection mechanisms limit the blast radius when an incorrect length value causes an out-of-bounds access.

Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

Secure SDLC practices directly prevent incorrect-length buffer operations via safe APIs, reviews, and testing.

ID.RA-01 partial match
prevents

Vulnerability identification can discover buffer-length flaws but does not prevent their introduction.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development can detect out-of-bounds accesses, but does not guarantee prevention.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates buffer-safety practices that directly prevent incorrect length values.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements can specify buffer-size validation, but do not prescribe implementation details.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles encourage bounds-checked APIs, yet leave concrete coding decisions to developers.

A.8.28 Secure coding partial match
prevents

Secure coding explicitly requires correct buffer-length handling, eliminating CWE-805 when followed.
