Description:   Opened: 2009-05-01 11:08 0000 
CVE-2009-0798 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2009-0798):
  The daemon in 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.

+  Bump, bug 246802. Thanks to Davide Pesavento <davidepesa@gmail.com>. Use
+  Ted Felix version of acpid that correctly handles using the netlink
+  interface instead of the deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface. Also fixes
+  bug 268079, CVE-2009-0798.

Does this have to do with the security issue? Do you want _p3 to go stable or
1.0.10?

------- Comment #4 From Tobias Heinlein 2009-05-05 22:14:45 0000 ------- 
Okay, _p3 was confirmed on IRC.

Arches, please test and mark stable:
=sys-power/acpid-1.0.10_p3
