Package        : synaesthesia
Vulnerability  : privilege escalation
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CAN-2005-0070

Erik Sjölund and Devin Carraway discovered that synaesthesia, a
program for representing sounds visually, accesses user-controlled
configuration and mixer files with elevated privileges.  Thus, it is
possible to read arbitrary files.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1-2.1woody3.

For the testing (sarge) and unstable (sid) distribution this problem
does not exist since synaesthesia is not installed setuid root
anymore.

We recommend that you upgrade your synaesthesia package.


Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
