Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71339
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:086 (acpid)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to acpid
announced via advisory MDVSA-2012:086.

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in acpid:

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 (CVE-2011-1159).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2010.1, Enterprise Server 5.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
