A problem exists with the esound daemon, which is used in GNOME and responsible for multiplexing access to audio devices. Versions of esound prior to and including 0.2.19 create a world-writable directory in /tmp called .esd which is owned by the user running esound. This directory is used to store a unix domain socket. The socket is also created world-writable, so a race condition exists in the creation of this socket which allows a local attacker to cause an arbitrary file or directory owned by the user running esound to become world-writable. This update contains a patch from FreeBSD which creates ~/.esd as the temporary directory to use and makes the unix domain socket read and write only to the user.
