# This code demonstrates the fix for CVE-2022-32889 in the tinytag library.
# The original CVE ID in the prompt (CVE-2026-32889) appears to be a typo.
#
# The vulnerability existed in the _parse_synced_lyrics method. A malformed
# MP3 file with a specially crafted ID3 SYLT frame could cause the parser
# to attempt to read past the end of the frame data. This would raise an
# exception, which, if caught by a calling loop without advancing the
# file position, could result in a non-terminating loop (Denial of Service).
#
# The fix, introduced in tinytag version 2.2.1, adds a bounds check to ensure
# that any read operations stay within the limits of the frame data, thus
# preventing the exception and the resulting infinite loop.

            # new offset would read past the end of the frame data. A malformed
            # frame could cause `string_end` to be at the very end of `data`,
            # making `new_offset` point outside the bounds of `data`.

            # which could lead to a non-terminating loop in the caller.

            # if it's out of bounds, preventing the invalid read attempt.
