acpid is a daemon that dispatches ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface) events to user-space programs.
Anthony de Almeida Lopes of Outpost24 AB reported a denial of service flaw
in the acpid daemon’s error handling. If an attacker could exhaust the
sockets open to acpid, the daemon would enter an infinite loop, consuming
most CPU resources and preventing acpid from communicating with legitimate
processes. (CVE-2009-0798)
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which contains a
backported patch to correct this issue.
