Debian DLA-655-1 : mpg123 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 94100

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in mpg123, an MPEG layer 1/2/3 audio decoder and player. An attacker could take advantage of these flaws to cause a denial of service against mpg123 or applications using the libmpg123 library with a carefully crafted input file.

CVE-2014-9497

Myautsai PAN discovered a flaw in the decoder initialization code of libmpg123. A specially crafted mp3 input file can be used to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service.

CVE-2016-1000247

Jerold Hoong discovered a flaw in the id3 tag processing code of libmpg123. A specially crafted mp3 input file could be used to cause a buffer over-read, resulting in a denial of service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.14.4-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your mpg123 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected libmpg123-0, libmpg123-dev, and mpg123 packages.
