NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200410-27.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-27 (mpg123: Buffer overflow vulnerabilities) Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the getauthfromURL() and http_open() functions have been reported by Carlos Barros. Additionally, the Gentoo Linux Sound Team fixed additional boundary checks which were found to be lacking. Impact : By enticing a user to open a malicious playlist or URL or making use of a specially crafted symlink, an attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running mpg123.

NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_20D16518247711D9814E0001020EED82.NASL description Carlos Barros reports that mpg123 contains two buffer overflows. These vulnerabilities can potentially lead to execution of arbitrary code. The first buffer overflow can occur when mpg123 parses a URL with a user-name/password field that is more than 256 characters long. This problem can be triggered either locally or remotely via a specially crafted play list. The second potential buffer overflow may be triggered locally by a specially crafted symlink to the mpg123 binary. This problem is not as serious, since mpg123 is not installed setuid by default. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 18866 published 2005-07-13 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2005-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/18866 title FreeBSD : mpg123 -- buffer overflow in URL handling (20d16518-2477-11d9-814e-0001020eed82) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from the FreeBSD VuXML database : # # Copyright 2003-2018 Jacques Vidrine and contributors # # Redistribution and use in source (VuXML) and 'compiled' forms (SGML, # HTML, PDF, PostScript, RTF and so forth) with or without modification, # are permitted provided that the following conditions are met: # 1.
