When successfully exploited it a local attacker with read write access to the Memory, leading to a local root compromise in many ways, examples of which include scanning the file for fragments of the master password file and modifying kernel memory to re-map system calls. This problem has been fixed in version 0.41-17.1 the current stable distribution (woody) and in version 0.41-19 for the unstable distribution (sid).
