<description>
<p>
Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the getauthfromURL() and http_open()

Linux Sound Team fixed additional boundary checks which were found to
be lacking.

</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
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.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All mpg123 users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r5&quot;</code>
</resolution>
