Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2012:138
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________

Package : acpid
Date : August 17, 2012
Affected: Enterprise Server 5.0
_______________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in acpid:

Helmut Grohne and Michael Biebl discovered that ACPI scripts were
executed with a permissive file mode creation mask (umask). A local
attacker could read files and modify directories created by ACPI
scripts that did not set a strict umask (CVE-2011-4578).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
