Debian: DSA-2984-2 Critical: Acpi-Support Root Escalation Issue

It was discovered that the acpi-support update for DSA-2984-1 would make a laptop's power button forcibly shut the system down, instead of triggering the configured action (usually suspend to RAM). This only affects systems using the gnome-settings-daemon. . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2984-2 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Raphael Geissert August 11, 2014 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : acpi-support Debian Bug : 755969 It was discovered that the acpi-support update for DSA-2984-1 would make a laptop's power button forcibly shut the system down, instead of triggering the configured action (usually suspend to RAM). This only affects systems using the gnome-settings-daemon. For reference, the original advisory follows. CESG discovered a root escalation flaw in the acpi-support package. An unprivileged user can inject the DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS environment variable to run arbitrary commands as root user via the policy-funcs script. For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 0.140-5+deb7u2. For the testing distribution (jessie), this problem will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 0.142-3. We recommend that you upgrade your acpi-support packages.
