**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
acpi-support versions prior to 0.142
**Description**
A race condition in the power policy functions of acpi-support allows local users to gain privileges. Multiple vulnerabilities in the acpi-support package may lead to breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by a local attacker.
