Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The tinytag package, versions 2.0.0 up to but not including 2.3.0, can enter an infinite loop when parsing certain M4A files that contain a sub-atom with a size of zero inside a `----` atom. An attacker who can supply such a file to a program that reads it with tinytag can cause a denial of service. Upgrade to tinytag 2.3.0, which fixes the issue; the source lists no workarounds.
