libvdpau before 1.1.1, when used in a setuid or setgid application, allows local users to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, related to the VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH environment variable.
Vulnerabilidad en libvdpau en versiones anteriores a 1.1.1, cuando se usa como una aplicación setuid o setgid, permite a usuarios locales obtener privilegios a través de vectores no especificados, relacionado con la variable de entorno VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH.
