+  <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 "&gt;=app-accessibility/festival-1.95_beta-r4"</code>
