Date September 22nd, 2004

Advisory ID MDKSA-2004:100

Affected versions 9.2, 10.0, CS2.1

Synopsis Updated mpg123 packages fix vulnerabilities

 

 

Problem Description

 

A vulnerability in mpg123 was discovered by Davide Del Vecchio where certain malicious mpg3/2 files would cause mpg123 to fail header checks, which could in turn allow arbitrary code to be executed with the privileges of the user running mpg123 (CAN-2004-0805).

 

As well, an older vulnerability in mpg123, where a response from a remote HTTP server could overflow a buffer allocated on the heap, is also fixed in these packages. This vulnerability could also potentially permit the execution of arbitray code with the privileges of the user running mpg123 (CAN-2003-0865).
