MPG123 Malformed MP3 File Memory Corruption Vulnerability

The mpg123 application is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability related to the handling of MP3 streams.

An attacker may be able to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the user running the player, but this has not been confirmed.

This issue may be related to the one described in BID 12218 (MPG123 Layer 2 Frame Header Heap Overflow Vulnerability).
