    Package : acpi-support
    CVE ID : CVE-2014-0484

    During a review for EDF, Raphael Geissert discovered that the
    acpi-support package did not properly handle data obtained from a
    user's environment. This could lead to program malfunction or allow a
    local user to escalate privileges to the root user due to a programming
    error.

    For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
    version 0.140-5+deb7u3.

    For the testing distribution (jessie), and the unstable distribution (sid)
    this problem will be fixed soon.

    We recommend that you upgrade your acpi-support packages.
