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 1.0.4 sets an unrestrictive umask, which might allow local users to leverage weak permissions on /var/log/acpid, and obtain sensitive information by reading this file or cause a denial of service by overwriting this file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2009-4033.
