Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7092-2
November 27, 2024

mpg123 vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

mpg123 could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- mpg123: MPEG layer 1/2/3 audio player

Details:

USN-7092-1 fixed a vulnerability in mpg123. Bastien Roucariès discovered
that the fix was incomplete on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. This update fixes the
problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

  It was discovered that mpg123 incorrectly handled certain mp3 files. If a
  user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted mp3
  file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause mpg123 to crash,
  resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   libmpg123-0                     1.25.13-1ubuntu0.2
   mpg123                          1.25.13-1ubuntu0.2

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
