+ <title>Pulseaudio: Privilege escalation</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability in pulseaudio may allow a local user to execute actions
+ with escalated privileges.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">pulseaudio</product>
+ <announced>2008-02-13</announced>
+ <revised>2008-02-13: 01</revised>
+ <bug>207214</bug>
+ <access>local</access>
+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-sound/pulseaudio" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.9.9</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.9.9</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Pulseaudio is a networked sound server with an advanced plugin system.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Marcus Meissner from SUSE reported that the pa_drop_root() function
+ does not properly check the return value of the system calls setuid(),
+ seteuid(), setresuid() and setreuid() when dropping its privileges.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could cause a resource exhaustion to make the system
+ calls fail, which would cause Pulseaudio to run as root. The attacker
+ could then perform actions with root privileges.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Pulseaudio users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.9"</code>
+ </resolution>
