Synopsis:	Moderate: acpid security update
Issue date:	2009-05-07
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-0798

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)
