(cdrtools: Local root vulnerability in cdrecord if set SUID root)

    Max Vozeler discovered that the cdrecord utility, when set to SUID root,
    fails to drop root privileges before executing a user-supplied RSH program.
    By default, Gentoo does not ship the cdrecord utility as SUID root and
    therefore is not vulnerable. However, many users (and CD-burning
    front-ends) set this manually after installation.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could specify a malicious program using the $RSH
    environment variable and have it executed by the SUID cdrecord, resulting
    in root privileges escalation.
  
Workaround :

    As a workaround, you could remove the SUID rights from your cdrecord
    utility :
    # chmod a-s /usr/bin/cdrecord"
  );
