    descriptionA buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the playlist processing of mpg123. A specially crafted playlist entry can cause a stack overflow that can be used to inject arbitrary code into the mpg123 process. Note that a malicious playlist, demonstrating this vulnerability, was released by the bug finder and may be used as a template by attackers.

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200412-22 (mpg123: Playlist buffer overflow) Bartlomiej Sieka discovered that mpg123 contains an unsafe strcat() to an array in playlist.c. This code vulnerability may lead to a buffer overflow. Impact : A remote attacker could craft a malicious playlist which, when used, would result in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the user running mpg123. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
