Description:
Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Pena has discovered a weakness in YIFF Sound Systems, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The weakness is caused due the YIFF server failing to verify file permissions before playing back files that are specified by the user using the "yplay" application. The YIFF server runs with root privileges and can be exploited by a malicious user to playback files that he does not access to.
The weakness has been confirmed in version 2.14.5. Other versions may also be affected.
