https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2008-0008
The pa_drop_root function in PulseAudio 0.9.8, and a certain 0.9.9 build, does not check return values from (1) setresuid, (2) setreuid, (3) setuid, and (4) seteuid calls when attempting to drop privileges, which might allow local users to gain privileges by causing those calls to fail via attacks such as resource exhaustion. La función pa_drop_root en PulseAudio versión 0.9.8, y una cierta build 0.9.9, no comprueba los valores de retorno de llamadas (1) setresuid, (2) setreuid, (3) setuid y (4) seteuid, cuando intenta perder privilegios, lo que podría permitir a usuarios locales alcanzar privilegios causando que esas llamadas fallen por ataques tales como el agotamiento de recursos. • http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=207214 http://pulseaudio.org/changeset/2100 http://secunia.com/advisories/28608 http://secunia.com/advisories/28623 http://secunia.com/advisories/28738 http://secunia.com/advisories/28952 http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200802-07.xml http://www.debian.org/security/2008/dsa-1476 http://www.mandriva.com/security/advisories?name=MDVSA-2008:027 http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/27449 http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-573-1 http • CWE-20: Improper Input Validation •
