acpid is vulnerable to privilege escalation. It was discovered that acpid could create its log file (β/var/log/acpidβ) with random permissions on some systems. A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges if the log file was created as world-writable and with the setuid or setgid bit set.
