Hi!

The following patch was just pointed out to me on IRC, it comes from
OpenBSD and appears to fix a buffer overflow in mp3lib.  Somebody
please review this quickly and commit

It's taken from here:

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ports/audio/mpg123/patches/
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/ports/audio/mpg123/patches/patch-layer2_c?rev=1.1.4.1&content-type=text/plain

This is the log message:

  fix buffer overflow, can allow arbitrary code execution by playing an mp3
  with specially crafted header; "Davide Del Vecchio" <dante at alighieri.org>
