CVE-2011-1159  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-20  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable acpid to version 1:2.0.9-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream acpid package and not the acpid package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

acpid.c in acpid before 2.0.9 does not properly handle a situation in which a process has connected to acpid.socket but is not reading any data, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (daemon hang) via a crafted application that performs a connect system call but no read system calls.
