NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mpg123 package and not the mpg123 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The III_i_stereo function in libmpg123/layer3.c in mpg123 through 1.25.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted audio file that is mishandled in the code for the "block_type != 2" case, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9870.
