+  <title>cdrtools: Local root vulnerability in cdrecord if set SUID root</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    cdrecord, if manually set SUID root, is vulnerable to a local root exploit
+    allowing users to escalate privileges.
+  </synopsis>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    The cdrtools package is a set of tools for CD recording, including the
+    popular cdrecord command-line utility.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Max Vozeler discovered that the cdrecord utility, when set to SUID root,
+    fails to drop root privileges before executing a user-supplied RSH program.
+    By default, Gentoo does not ship the cdrecord utility as SUID root and
+    therefore is not vulnerable. However, many users (and CD-burning
+    front-ends) set this manually after installation.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A local attacker could specify a malicious program using the $RSH
+    environment variable and have it executed by the SUID cdrecord, resulting
+    in root privileges escalation.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    As a workaround, you could remove the SUID rights from your cdrecord
+    utility :
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # chmod a-s /usr/bin/cdrecord</code>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All cdrtools users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge sync
+
+    # emerge -pv "&gt;=app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01_alpha37-r1"
+    # emerge "&gt;=app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01_alpha37-r1"</code>
+  </resolution>
