There was recently posted a message[1] to Bugtraq which has gotten a lot of press due to some rather far fetched claims about "infection" of p2p networks. As a "demonstration", an exploit for mpg123 is provided. This exploit triggers a buffer overflow in mpg123 pre0.59s. This overflow bug does not exist in xmms. However, versions of xmms previous to 0.9.5 has a similar bug, but I haven't bothered to check if also this bug is exploitable.
