Description Leonard den Ottolander 2004-09-08 08:13:36 UTC 
cdrecord is vulnerable to a local root exploit via the RSH environment
variable if it is suid root.
Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2004-09-08 21:17:14 UTC 
This is correct, however we do not install cdrecord suid for just this
reason.  I'm removing the security severity since this is technically
a bug, but not a security related issue in a default install.
