- Steve Kemp discovered a vulnerability in xatitv, one of the programs
- in the gatos package, which is used to display video with certain
- ATI video cards.
- xatitv is installed setuid root in order to gain direct access to the
- video hardware. It normally drops root privileges after successfully
- initializing itself. However, if initialization fails due to a
- missing configuration file, root privileges are not dropped, and
- xatitv executes the system(3) function to launch its configuration
- program without sanitizing user-supplied environment variables.
- By exploiting this vulnerability, a local user could gain root
- privileges if the configuration file does not exist. However, a
- default configuration file is supplied with the package, and so this
- vulnerability is not exploitable unless this file is removed by the
- administrator.
- For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
- fixed in version 0.0.5-6woody1.
- For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.
- We recommend that you update your gatos package.
