    (/var/run/multipathd.sock).
    </p>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Local users could send arbitrary commands to the multipath daemon,
    causing cluster failures and data loss.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    chmod o-rwx /var/run/multipath.sock
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All multipath-tools users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-fs/multipath-tools-0.4.8-r1"</code>
    <p>
    NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures are
    available since November 13, 2009. It is likely that your system is
    already no longer affected by this issue.
