descriptionA vulnerability in cdrecord was discovered that can be used to obtain root access because Mandrake Linux ships with the cdrecord binary suid root and sgid cdwriter. Updated packages are provided that fix this vulnerability. You may also elect to remove the suid and sgid bits from cdrecord manually, which can be done by executing, as root : chmod ug-s /usr/bin/cdrecord This is not required to protect yourself from this particular vulnerability, however. Update : Two additional format string problems were discovered by Olaf Kirch and an updated patch has been applied to fix those problems as well.
