Package: mpg321
Version: 0.2.10.3
Severity: critical
Tags: security

mpg312 is installed setuid root probably to do scheduler magic or
whatever (didn't check).  Anyhow, this means you can invoke it using
"mpg321 -w /etc/passwd foo/mp3" or whatever.

For now I would suggest we remove the suid bit (clearly this has
issues to, but those are less sever than being able to trash arbitrary
files as non-root).
