    <p>
    mpg123 is a realtime MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 audio player for layers 1, 2 and
    3.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    The vendor reported a signedness error in the store_id3_text() function
    in id3.c, allowing for out-of-bounds memory access.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open an MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
    (MP3) file containing a specially crafted ID3 tag, possibly resulting
    in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
    running the application.
    </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/mpg123-1.7.2&quot;</code>
