|
|
Konstantine Shirow reported a vulnerability in default Gentoo
|
|
configurations of Festival. The daemon is configured to run with root
|
|
privileges and to listen on localhost, without requiring a password.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A local attacker could gain root privileges by connecting to the daemon
|
|
and execute arbitrary commands.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Set a password in the configuration file /etc/festival/server.scm by
|
|
adding the line: (set! server_passwd password)
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Festival users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-accessibility/festival-1.95_beta-r4"</code>
|
