Detail

Davide Del Vecchio discovered a vulnerability mpg123, a popular (but non-free) MPEG layer 1/2/3 audio player. A malicious MPEG layer 2/3 file could cause the header checks in mpg123 to fail, which could in turn allow arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the user running mpg123.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.59r-13woody3.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.59r-16.

We recommend that you upgrade your mpg123 package.

Id Description
9748 mpg123 layer2.c Header Remote Overflow

A remote overflow exists in mpg123. The do_layer2() function fails to perform proper bounds checking resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted MP3 or MP2 file, an attacker can cause arbitrary code execution resulting in a loss of integrity.
