CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable acpid to version 1.0.10-1 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.

ACPI Event Daemon (acpid) before 1.0.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and connectivity loss) by opening a large number of UNIX sockets without closing them, which triggers an infinite loop.
