+ <background>
+ <p>
+ aRts is a real time modular system for synthesizing audio used by KDE.
+ artswrapper is a helper application used to start the aRts daemon.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ artswrapper fails to properly check whether it can drop privileges
+ accordingly if setuid() fails due to a user exceeding assigned resource
+ limits.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All aRts users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/arts</code>
+ </resolution>
