(Festival: Privilege elevation)

    Konstantine Shirow reported a vulnerability in default Gentoo
    configurations of Festival. The daemon is configured to run with root
    privileges and to listen on localhost, without requiring a password.
  
Impact :

    A local attacker could gain root privileges by connecting to the daemon
    and execute arbitrary commands.
  
Workaround :

    Set a password in the configuration file /etc/festival/server.scm by
    adding the line: (set! server_passwd password)"
