DESCRIPTION
mpg123[1] is a command line mp3 player.

Vade 79 reported[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the mpg123
package. When used to play mp3 audio streams over the network, audio
servers can exploit this vulnerability by sending a carefully crafted
response to the client which will overflow a buffer on the heap and
execute arbitrary code.

SOLUTION
It is recommended that all mpg123 users upgrade their packages.
