The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
vorbis-tools 1.1.1-3ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 7.04:
vorbis-tools 1.1.1-6ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 7.10:
vorbis-tools 1.1.1-13ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

USN-611-1 fixed a vulnerability in Speex. This update provides the corresponding update for ogg123, part of vorbis-tools.

Original advisory details:

It was discovered that Speex did not properly validate its input when
processing Speex file headers. If a user or automated system were
tricked into opening a specially crafted Speex file, an attacker could
create a denial of service in applications linked against Speex or
possibly execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program.
