Check for the version of the mpg123 package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2004:100 (mpg123). A vulnerability in mpg123 was discovered by Davide Del Vecchio where certain malicious mpg3/2 files would cause mpg123 to fail header checks, which could in turn permit arbitrary code to be executed with the rights of the user running mpg123 (CVE-2004-0805). As well, an older vulnerability in mpg123, where a response from a remote HTTP server could overflow a buffer allocated on the heap, is also fixed in these packages. This vulnerability could also potentially permit the execution of arbitray code with the rights of the user running mpg123 (CVE-2003-0865).
