Detail
| Dan Rosenberg discovered that the PulseAudio sound server creates a temporary directory with a predictable name. This allows a local attacker to create a Denial of Service condition or possibly disclose sensitive information to unprivileged users. For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.10-3+lenny2. For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your pulseaudio package. |
