Synopsis:	Important: udev security update
Issue date:	2009-04-16
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-1185

It was discovered that udev did not properly check the origin of Netlink
messages. A local attacker could use this flaw to gain root privileges 
via a crafted Netlink message sent to udev, causing it to create a
world-writable block device file for an existing system block device 
(for example, the root file system). (CVE-2009-1185)

After installing the update, the udevd daemon will be restarted 
automatically.
