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-2004:120 (mpg123). Carlos Barros discovered two buffer overflow vulnerabilities in mpg123 the first in the getauthfromURL() function and the second in the http_open() function. These vulnerabilities could be exploited to possibly execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user running mpg123. The provided packages are patched to fix these issues, as well additional boundary checks that were lacking have been included (thanks to the Gentoo Linux Sound Team for these additional fixes).
