Public security bug reported:

Integer signedness error in the store_id3_text function in the ID3v2 code
in mpg123 before 1.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds memory access) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an
ID3 tag with a negative encoding value. NOTE: some of these details are
obtained from third party information.
