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:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the INT123_parse_new_id3 function in the ID3 parser in mpg123 before 1.25.5 on 32-bit platforms allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
