TITLE:
Red Hat update for acpid

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37536

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37536/

DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for acpid. This fixes a security issue,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated
privileges.

The problem is caused due to the application creating its log file
with random permissions on some systems. This can be exploited to
escalate their privileges if the log file was created as
world-writable and with the setuid or setgid bit set.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
