  <affected>
    <package name="media-sound/mpg321" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">0.2.10-r2</unaffected>

  <background>
    <p>
    mpg321 is a GPL replacement for mpg123, a command line audio
    player with support for ID3. ID3 is a tagging system that allows
    metadata to be embedded within media files.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A routine security audit of the mpg321 package revealed a known
    security issue remained unpatched. The vulnerability is a result of
    mpg321 printing embedded ID3 data to the console in an unsafe manner.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Successful exploitation would require a victim to play a specially
    crafted audio file using mpg321, potentially resulting in the execution
    of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All mpg321 users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-sound/mpg321-0.2.10-r2&quot;</code>
