Updated mpg123 packages fix security vulnerability
Publication date: 12 Nov 2024Modification date: 11 Nov 2024
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases : 9
CVE: CVE-2024-10573
Description
An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in mpg123 when handling crafted
streams. When decoding PCM, the libmpg123 may write past the end of a
heap-located buffer. Consequently, heap corruption may happen, and
arbitrary code execution may not be dismissed. The complexity required to
exploit this flaw is considered high as the payload must be validated by
the MPEG decoder and the PCM synth before execution. Additionally, to
successfully execute the attack, the user must scan through the stream,
making web live stream content (such as web radios) a very unlikely
attack vector. (CVE-2024-10573)
