Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 : mpg123 vulnerability (USN-7092-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 210368

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7092-1 advisory.

 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
