This type of vulnerability can usually be easily exploited to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by various means.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 2.1-2.1woody1.

The unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by this problem, because synaesthesia is no longer setuid.

We recommend that you update your synaesthesia package.");
