Linux cdrecord Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

The linux cdrecorder binary is vulnerable to a locally exploitable buffer overflow attack. When installed in a Mandrake 7.0 linux distribution, it is by default setgid "cdburner" (which is a group, gid: 80, that is created for the application). The overflow condition is the result of no bounds checking on the 'dev=' argument passed to cdburner at execution time.
