Description Murray McAllister 2013-10-14 12:42:33 UTC 
The MP3::Info module attempts to load and run a module relative to the current working directory. If a local user ran an application that uses MP3::Info in an attacker-controlled directory, it would lead to arbitrary code execution.
Comment 4 Kurt Seifried 2015-02-05 02:27:55 UTC 
Downgrading severity, this module is not widely used and requires significant attacker/victim interaction.
Comment 5 Kurt Seifried 2015-02-05 02:28:19 UTC 
Created perl-MP3-Info tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1189334]
Affects: epel-5 [bug 1189335]
Comment 6 Petr Šabata 2015-02-11 15:06:28 UTC 
I checked the code of perl-MP3-Info and couldn't find any code doing what you describe.  There are no issues of such nature reported upstream either.

I would appreciate some more information on this matter as I can't see anything to fix here.
Comment 7 Petr Šabata 2015-05-14 11:31:21 UTC 
I believe this report is bogus.  Closing.
