+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ By enticing a user to open a malicious playlist or URL or making use of
+ a specially-crafted symlink, an attacker could possibly execute
+ arbitrary code with the rights of the user running mpg123.
+ </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 "&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r5"</code>
