Package: mpg123

This is mpg123 upstream formally informing you of a vulnerability
(crash on illegal memory read) in all mpg123 versions since 0.60, so
very likely all debian versions of mpg123 and libmpg123 are affected.

See more detail at http://mpg123.org/bugs/240 . A one-line fix for any
version is this:

	perl -pi -e 's:(while\()(tagpos < length-10\)):${1}length >= 10 && $2:' $(find src -name id3.c)


Alrighty then,

Thomas
