Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libmpg123-0

libmpg123 v1.12.1 (also used by the 'mpg123' program) has a known memory
corruption bug that is fixed in later versions. See:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2996045&group_id=135704&atid=733194
http://freshmeat.net/projects/mpg123/releases/318444

This affects all programs that depend on this library for decoding mp3
files (including the program mpg123 itself) with random segfaults and
crashes, making the library practically unusable.

An upgrade of mpg123/libmpg123 to a newer version (such as 1.12.3) would
be enough fix the problem.

I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS.

Thanks,
Nicolay Korslund
