|

<description>
|
|
<p>
|
|
artswrapper fails to properly check whether it can drop privileges
|
|
accordingly if setuid() fails due to a user exceeding assigned resource
|
|
limits.
|
|

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Local attackers could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
|
|
code with elevated privileges. Note that the aRts package provided by
|
|
Gentoo is only vulnerable if the artswrappersuid USE-flag is enabled.
|
|

|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.

</workaround>

<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All aRts users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/arts</code>
|
