-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 _______________________________________________________________________ Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:137 http://www.mandriva.com/security/ _______________________________________________________________________ Package : acpid Date : August 17, 2012 Affected: 2011. _______________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: Multiple vulnerabilities has been discovered and corrected in acpid: Oliver-Tobias Ripka discovered that an ACPI script incorrectly handled power button events. A local attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code, and possibly escalate privileges (CVE-2011-2777). Helmut Grohne and Michael Biebl discovered that ACPI scripts were executed with a permissive file mode creation mask (umask). A local attacker could read files and modify directories created by ACPI scripts that did not set a strict umask (CVE-2011-4578). The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. _______________________________________________________________________ References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-2777 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-4578 _______________________________________________________________________ Updated Packages: Mandriva Linux 2011: 23d5343c86fea6a72a789a3f29e4f733 2011/i586/acpid-2.0.10-1.1-mdv2011.0.i586.rpm 3a78db800ec8c3063d834f618a39357e 2011/SRPMS/acpid-2.0.10-1.1.src.rpm Mandriva Linux 2011/X86_64: a8e6080d229eae2c7ce068a240f902c6 2011/x86_64/acpid-2.0.10-1.1-mdv2011.0.x86_64.rpm 3a78db800ec8c3063d834f618a39357e 2011/SRPMS/acpid-2.0.10-1.1.src.rpm _______________________________________________________________________ To upgrade automatically use MandrivaUpdate or urpmi.
