  <description>
    <p>
    In httpdget.c, a variable is assigned to the heap, and is supposed to
    receive a smaller allocation. As this variable was not terminated
    properly, strncpy() will overwrite the data assigned next in memory.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    By enticing a user to visit a malicious URL, 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 update to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/mpg123-0.59s-r11"</code>
  </resolution>
