NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libmad package and not the libmad package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.

mpg321.c in mpg321 0.3.2-1 does not properly manage memory for use with libmad 0.15.1b, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption seen in a crash in the mad_decoder_run function in decoder.c in libmad) via a crafted MP3 file.
