DESCRIPTION:
A. Alejandro Hernández has reported a vulnerability in mpg123, which
potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a
user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error within the
"III_i_stereo()" function in layer3.c when processing MPEG 2.0 layer
3 files. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow when a user
opens a specially crafted MPEG 2.0 layer 3 file.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code.

Use another product.
