    descriptionThe 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.
