CVE-2011-2147 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2011-2147):
  Openswan 2.2.x does not properly restrict permissions for (1)
  /var/run/starter.pid, related to starter.c in the IPsec starter, and (2)
  /var/lock/subsys/ipsec, which allows local users to kill arbitrary processes
  by writing a PID to a file, or possibly bypass disk quotas by writing
  arbitrary data to a file, as demonstrated by files with 0666 permissions, a
  different vulnerability than CVE-2011-1784.
