Package: eeepc-acpi-scripts
Version: 1.1.6
Severity: normal
Hi there eeepc-acpi people--
it looks like three files in eeepc-acpi-scripts all contain "pidof"
tests to check if something is happening on the system:
/etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh:10:if (runlevel | grep -q [06]) || (pidof
'/sbin/shutdown' > /dev/null); then
/etc/acpi/actions/suspend.sh-11- exit 0
--
/etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh:9:if pidof powersaved; then
/etc/acpi/actions/lid.sh-10- exit 0
--
/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh:8:if pidof powersaved; then
/etc/acpi/actions/sleep.sh-9- exit 0
the problem with these tests is that it's trivial for any local user
to spoof the output, and thereby get the acpi script to terminate
("exit 0"). All the user needs to do is run an executable which
re-writes ARGV[0] to the relevant string, and the pidof check will
pass :/
This means that any user on a system can effectively cause the
suspend, lid, or sleep script to fail silently. That's bad!
lid.sh and sleep.sh are easy to fix, since powersaved was recently
removed from debian:
http://packages.qa.debian.org/p/powersave/news/20091218T132117Z.html
You might want to check with the sysvinit folks to see what the
correct way to check for a running /sbin/shutdown might be? (maybe
you want to parse the output of "/sbin/runlevel"?)
See also http://bugs.debian.org/553643 for more discussion on the same
general concern.
Regards,
--dkg
