Synopsis
========

An attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code by way of specially
crafted MP2 or MP3 files.

Background
==========

mpg123 is a real-time MPEG audio player.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Description
===========

mpg123 improperly parses frame headers in input streams.

Impact
======

By inducing a user to play a malicious file, an attacker may be able to
exploit a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code with the
permissions of the user running mpg123.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All mpg123 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
