Discussion

mpg123 'store_id3_text()' Memory Corruption Vulnerability

The 'mpg123' program is prone to a memory-corruption vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it into a finite-sized buffer.

Exploiting this issue may allow a remote attacker to overwrite memory with arbitrary data, potentially allowing them to execute malicious machine code in the context of the affected application and to compromise the affected computer.

This issue affects mpg123 1.7.1 and earlier.
