Reported by Dave Jones, currently we have: --w--w--w-. 1 root root 0 2010-11-11 14:56 /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method which is just crazy. Change this to --w-------. This custom_method file allows to inject custom ACPI methods into the ACPI interpreter tables. This control file was introduced with world writeable permissions in Linux Kernel 2.6.33. Introduced in: <a href="http://git.kernel.org/linus/a1a541d86f50a9957beeedb122a035870d602647">http://git.kernel.org/linus/a1a541d86f50a9957beeedb122a035870d602647</a> <a href="http://git.kernel.org/linus/a25ee9200eef07377e1703697afbb5d81f89e500">http://git.kernel.org/linus/a25ee9200eef07377e1703697afbb5d81f89e500</a> Fixed in: <a href="http://git.kernel.org/linus/ed3aada1bf34c5a9e98af167f125f8a740fc726a">http://git.kernel.org/linus/ed3aada1bf34c5a9e98af167f125f8a740fc726a</a>
