+ <title>mpg321: Format string vulnerability</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A flaw in the processing of ID3 tags in mpg321 could potentially lead to
+ the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-sound/mpg321" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.2.10-r2</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.2.10-r2</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ mpg321 is a GPL replacement for mpg123, a command line audio
+ player with support for ID3. ID3 is a tagging system that allows
+ metadata to be embedded within media files.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ A routine security audit of the mpg321 package revealed a known
+ security issue remained unpatched. The vulnerability is a result of
+ mpg321 printing embedded ID3 data to the console in an unsafe manner.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would require a victim to play a specially
+ crafted audio file using mpg321, potentially resulting in the execution
+ of arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All mpg321 users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/mpg321-0.2.10-r2&quot;</code>
