YAMT ID3 Tag Sort Command Execution Vulnerability

YAMT (Yet Another MP3 Tool) is prone to a vulnerability that may allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands. This issue is exposed when the program attempts to sort ID3 tags. As this data may originate from an external or untrusted source, this issue is considered remote in nature.

Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands when the software processes an MP3 that contains malicious ID3 tag data. This will occur in the context of the user running the application.
