Security database references:
    In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CAN-2005-0070.
More information:

    Erik Sjölund and Devin Carraway discovered that synaesthesia, a program for representing sounds visually, accesses user-controlled configuration and mixer files with elevated privileges. Thus, it is possible to read arbitrary files.
