Comment 1 Alexander Bergmann 2018-02-22 11:28:22 UTC 
openSUSE:Factory has version mp3gain-1.6.1 already. Not sure if this version is still affected.
Comment 2 Luigi Baldoni 2018-02-22 11:49:43 UTC 
The one in Factory contains a patch with this commit https://sourceforge.net/p/mp3gain/code/ci/4963fd9aedac00bcf051617e4d88f73ad5d68942 .

According to the developer, there is no public PoC to verify it though.
Comment 3 Luigi Baldoni 2018-03-05 10:02:23 UTC 
As reported above, apetag.c has been heavily patched, plus CVE-2017-12911 does not supply a proof of concept.

I'm filing this under "hearsay" until contrary evidence emerges.
