Debian Security Advisory DSA 578-1                     security@debian.org

Package        : mpg123
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2004-0982

Carlos Barros has discovered a buffer overflow in the HTTP
authentication routine of mpg123, a popular (but non-free) MPEG layer
1/2/3 audio player.  If a user opened a malicious playlist or URL, an
attacker might execute arbitrary code with the rights of the calling
user.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.59r-13woody4.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.59r-17.

We recommend that you upgrade your mpg123 package.
