Wow. If Linux could run .exe binaries natively or I were stupid enough to run a Windows file of that nature via wine with root privledges, I might possibly be concerned if not for the fact that I always load MP3 files through the file-loader of my MP3 player rather than double-clicking the filename in a file manager window.

Hatch is a crank who is clearly completely out of touch with reality. His suggestion is something that I would only expect to see in a satirical publication.

There was a buffer overflow in mpg123. A specially crafted mp3 file could execute code with the priveleges of the user that mpg123 was running as.
