This fixes a security issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain security restrictions. A security issue is caused due to the "/var/run/multipathd.sock" being world-writable, which can be exploited to e.g. send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon. SOLUTION: Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update device-mapper-multipath").
