-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2015-6d473c95ee 2015-12-29 18:54:14.973876 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : arts Product : Fedora 23 Version : 1.5.10 Release : 30.fc23 URL : http://www.kde.org Summary : aRts (analog realtime synthesizer) - the KDE sound system Description : arts (analog real-time synthesizer) is the sound system of KDE 3. The principle of arts is to create/process sound using small modules which do certain tasks. These may be create a waveform (oscillators), play samples, filter data, add signals, perform effects like delay/flanger/chorus, or output the data to the soundcard. By connecting all those small modules together, you can perform complex tasks like simulating a mixer, generating an instrument or things like playing a wave file with some effects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Security fix for CVE-2015-7543 in arts (the legacy aRts sound server): A temporary directory was being created insecurely using mktemp and mkdir, allowing an attacker to hijack the temporary directory and thus the inter- process communication (IPC). This update fixes the temporary directory creation to use the safe mkdtemp function instead. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #1280543 - CVE-2015-7543 arts,kdelibs3: Use of mktemp(3) allows attacker to hijack the IPC https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280543 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update arts' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at https://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
