Description Victor Pereira 2015-09-01 07:18:24 UTC 
rh#1253824

libvdpau incorrectly checks if the process underwent a security transition at startup, related to processing of the VDPAU_DRIVER_PATH environment variable.  This may allow local attackers gain additional privileges.

Acknowledgements:

This issue was discovered by Florian Weimer of Red Hat Product Security.
