Debian Linux Security Advisory 3221-1 - Adam Sampson discovered a buffer overflow in the handling of the XAUTHORITY environment variable in das-watchdog, a watchdog daemon to ensure a realtime process won't hang the machine. A local user can exploit this flaw to escalate his privileges and execute arbitrary code as root.
