lead to buffer overflows and directory traversal issues. When
processing a file with a maliciously crafted ID3 tag, yamt might
overwrite arbitrary files or possibly execute arbitrary code.

The SuSE package ChangeLog contains :

- Several security fixes (#49337) :

- directory traversal in rename

- directory traversal in sort

- buffer overflow in sort

- buffer overflow in rename"
