Package : das-watchdog
Version : 0.9.0-2+deb6u1
CVE ID : CVE-2015-2831
Debian Bug : 781806

Adam Sampson discovered a buffer overflow in the handling of the
XAUTHORITY environment variable in das-watchdog, a watchdog daemon to
ensure a realtime process won't hang the machine. A local user can
exploit this flaw to escalate his privileges and execute arbitrary
code as root.
