  <description>
    <p>
    Bartlomiej Sieka discovered that mpg123 contains an unsafe
    strcat() to an array in playlist.c. This code vulnerability may lead to
    a buffer overflow.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could craft a malicious playlist which, when
    used, would result in the execution of 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 &quot;&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r8&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
