and the artsd daemon can be used to gain root privileges if artswrapper is
setuid root and the system is running a 2.6.x kernel. Note that artswrapper
is not setuid root on Slackware by default. Some people have recommended
setting it that way online though, so it's at least worth warning about.
It's far safer to just add users to the audio group.

 Patched to fix a possible exploit if artswrapper is setuid root (which,
 by default, it is not) and the system is running a 2.6 kernel.
 Systems running 2.4 kernels are not affected.
