Descriptions

artswrapper in aRts, when running setuid root on Linux 2.6.0 or later versions, does not check the return value of the setuid function call, which allows local users to gain root privileges by causing setuid to fail, which prevents artsd from dropping privileges.

artswrapper en aRts, cuando se ejecuta como root sobre linux 2.6.0 o versiones posteriores, no valida la variable setuid de retorno de la llamada a la funciĆ³n, lo que permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios de root al provocar un fallo sobre setuid.
