<p>
Konstantine Shirow reported a vulnerability in default Gentoo
configurations of Festival. The daemon is configured to run with root
privileges and to listen on localhost, without requiring a password.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could gain root privileges by connecting to the daemon
and execute arbitrary commands.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Set a password in the configuration file /etc/festival/server.scm by
adding the line: (set! server_passwd password)
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Festival users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-accessibility/festival-1.95_beta-r4"</code>
</resolution>
