+ <title>BEAST: Denial of service</title>
+ <synopsis>
+ A vulnerability has been discovered in BEAST allowing for a Denial of
+ Service.
+ </synopsis>
+ <product type="ebuild">BEAST</product>
+ <announced>2007-04-27</announced>
+ <revised count="01">2007-04-27</revised>

+ <affected>
+ <package name="media-sound/beast" auto="yes" arch="*">
+ <unaffected range="ge">0.7.1</unaffected>
+ <vulnerable range="lt">0.7.1</vulnerable>
+ </package>
+ </affected>
+ <background>
+ <p>
+ BEdevilled Audio SysTem is an audio compositor, supporting a wide range
+ of audio formats.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ BEAST, which is installed as setuid root, fails to properly check
+ whether it can drop privileges accordingly if seteuid() fails due to a
+ user exceeding assigned resource limits.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>
+ A local user could exceed his resource limit in order to prevent the
+ seteuid() call from succeeding. This may lead BEAST to keep running
+ with root privileges. Then, the local user could use the "save as"
+ dialog box to overwrite any file on the vulnerable system, potentially
+ leading to a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All BEAST users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-sound/beast-0.7.1"</code>
+ </resolution>
