CVE-2009-0798

Publication date 24 April 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

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.
