Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions acpid version 1.0.4

Description The issue allows local users to potentially obtain sensitive information or cause a denial of service. This is due to an unrestrictive umask setting, which might lead to weak permissions on the /var/log/acpid file.

Recommendations For acpid version 1.0.4, consider updating the umask setting to a more restrictive configuration to prevent weak permissions on /var/log/acpid. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the /var/log/acpid file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
