Summary     : A collection of CD/DVD utilities.

Update Information:

Updated cdrtools packages that fix a privilege escalation vulnerability
are now available.

Cdrtools is a collection of CD/DVD utilities.

Max Vozeler found that the cdrecord program, when is set suid root,
fails to drop privileges when it executes a program specified by the
user through the $RSH environment variable. This can be abused by a
local attacker to obtain root privileges. In the default configuration
of Red Hat Linux 9, the cdrecord program is not set suid root and this
attack is not possible. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0806 to this issue.

Users of cdrtools are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which
contain a backported patch correcting this issue.
