CVE-2011-4578

Publication date 6 December 2011

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

event.c in acpid (aka acpid2) before 2.0.11 does not have an appropriate umask setting during execution of event-handler scripts, which might allow local users to (1) perform write operations within directories created by a script, or (2) read files created by a script, via standard filesystem system calls.
