CVE-2011-2777 Oliver-Tobias Ripka discovered that incorrect process handling in the Debian-specific powerbtn.sh script could lead to local privilege escalation. This issue doesn't affect oldstable. The script is only shipped as an example in /usr/share/doc/acpid/examples. See /usr/share/doc/acpid/README.Debian for details. CVE-2011-4578 Helmut Grohne and Michael Biebl discovered that acpid sets a umask of 0 when executing scripts, which could result in local privilege escalation.
