paul Posted December 26, 2009 Report Share Posted December 26, 2009 Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in acpid: A certain Red Hat patch for acpid 1.0.4 effectively triggers a call to the open function with insufficient arguments, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions on /var/log/acpid, and obtain sensitive information by reading this file, cause a denial of service by overwriting this file, or gain privileges by executing this file (CVE-2009-4033). acpid 1.0.4 sets an unrestrictive umask, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions on /var/log/acpid, and obtain sensitive information by reading this file or cause a denial of service by overwriting this file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4033 (CVE-2009-4235). This update provides a solution to these vulnerabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
