Mandriva Linux Security Advisory 2009-107 - The daemon in acpid before 1.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and connectivity loss) by opening a large number of UNIX sockets without closing them, which triggers an infinite loop. The updated packages have been patched to prevent this. Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.
