[slackware-security]  mpg123 (SSA:2026-117-01)

New mpg123 packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/mpg123-1.33.5-i586-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  mpg123: Fix generic control mode for largefile-sensitive builds, where 32 bit
  off_t was used with mpg123 API calls expecting 64 bit off_t.
  I am appalled that it took a user on 32 bit ARM and a specific https stream
  to notice this (bug 385, regression since 1.32.0).
  The security impact of this could be serious, with memory corruption
  including segfault being observed.
  mpg123-id3dump, out123: Enable 64 bit offset usage on largefile-sensitive
  platforms (regression since 1.32.0).
  (* Security fix *)
