Synopsis ========
The artswrapper part of aRts allows local users to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
Background ==========
aRts is a real time modular system for synthesizing audio used by KDE. artswrapper is a helper application used to start the aRts daemon.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 kde-base/arts < 3.5.2-r1 >= 3.5.2-r1 *>= 3.4.3-r1
Description ===========
artswrapper fails to properly check whether it can drop privileges accordingly if setuid() fails due to a user exceeding assigned resource limits.
Impact ======
Local attackers could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. Note that the aRts package provided by Gentoo is only vulnerable if the artswrappersuid USE-flag is enabled.
Workaround ==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution ==========
All aRts users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose kde-base/arts
