openSUSE Security Update : libpulse-browse0 (libpulse-browse0-2131)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 45103

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

Due to a race condition in pulseaudio a local attacker could make pulseaudio change ownership and permissions of arbitrary files. The problem is only security relevant if pulseaudio is run in 'system mode' which is not the case by default (CVE-2009-1299).

This update also improves some latency problems with pulseaudio.

Solution

Update the affected libpulse-browse0 packages.
