Background

mpg123 is a MPEG Audio Player.

Description

mpg123 contains a buffer overflow in the code that handles layer2 decoding of media files.

Impact

An attacker can possibly exploit this bug with a specially-crafted mp3 or mp2 file to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running mpg123.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

 # emerge sync

 # emerge -pv "&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r4"
 # emerge "&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r4"
