Debian DLA-1017-1 : mpg123 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 101318

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

It was discovered that there was a remote denial of service vulnerability in the mpg123 audio library/player. This was caused by a heap-based buffer over-read in the 'convert_latin1' function.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in mpg123 version 1.14.4-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your mpg123 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libmpg123-0, libmpg123-dev, and mpg123 packages.
