  <description>
    <p>
    Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the getauthfromURL() and http_open()
    functions have been reported by Carlos Barros. Additionally, the Gentoo
    Linux Sound Team fixed additional boundary checks which were found to
    be lacking.
    </p>
  </description>
  <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>
  </resolution>
