Buffer overflow in discdb.c for grip 3.1.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code by causing the cddb lookup to return more matches than expected.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on n/a, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
