NASL family Gentoo Local Security Checks NASL id GENTOO_GLSA-200501-14.NASL description The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200501-14 (mpg123: Buffer overflow) mpg123 improperly parses frame headers in input streams. Impact : By inducing a user to play a malicious file, an attacker may be able to exploit a buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running mpg123. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 16405 published 2005-02-14 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/16405 title GLSA-200501-14 : mpg123: Buffer overflow code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200501-14. # # The advisory text is Copyright (C) 2001-2018 Gentoo Foundation, Inc. # and licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution / Share Alike # license.
