Detail

Erik Sjölund and Devin Carraway discovered that synaesthesia, a program for representing sounds visually, accesses user-controlled configuration and mixer files with elevated privileges. Thus, it is possible to read arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1-2.1woody3.

For the testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem does not exist since synaesthesia is not installed setuid root anymore.

We recommend that you upgrade your synaesthesia package.
