CVE-2006-3355
Heap-based buffer overflow in httpdget.c in mpg123 before 0.59s-rll allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long URL, which is not properly terminated before being used with the strncpy function.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
