CVE-2026-104266

### Impact An M4A file containing a sub-atom with a size of zero in the `----` atom makes the parser enter an infinite loop, resulting in a denial-of-service for programs reading such files with tinytag. ### Patches The issue has been fixed in tinytag 2.3.0, by reusing the primary atom parsing code path that contains appropriate size checks. ### Workarounds No workarounds exist. Users must upgrade to tinytag 2.3.0.
