(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)"
