- Description:
- The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-27
(mpg123: Buffer overflow vulnerabilities)
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the getauthfromURL() and http_open()
functions have been reported by Carlos Barros. Additionally, the Gentoo
Linux Sound Team fixed additional boundary checks which were found to be
lacking.
Impact
By enticing a user to open a malicious playlist or URL or making use of a
specially-crafted symlink, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary
code with the rights of the user running mpg123.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution:
All mpg123 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r5"
Risk factor : Medium
