The vulnerability is caused due to an error when processing MP3 files and can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow via a specially crafted file. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code, but requires tricking a user into opening a malicious MP3 file. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.0.0.1440. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not open MP3 files from untrusted sources.
