CVE-2017-11126
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"…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.39%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
