+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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 &quot;&gt;=app-accessibility/festival-1.95_beta-r4&quot;</code>
+ </resolution>
