CVE-2017-12797
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.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
