02 Apr 2020 — Time-of-check Time-of-use Race Condition vulnerability on crash report ownership change in Apport allows for a possible privilege escalation opportunity. If fs.protected_symlinks is disabled, this can be exploited between the os.open and os.chown calls when the Apport cron script clears out crash files of size 0. A symlink with the same name as the deleted file can then be created upon which chown will be called, changing the file owner to root. Fixed in versions 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.23, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.14, 2.20... • https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1862933 • CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition •

02 Apr 2020 — Apport creates a world writable lock file with root ownership in the world writable /var/lock/apport directory. If the apport/ directory does not exist (this is not uncommon as /var/lock is a tmpfs), it will create the directory, otherwise it will simply continue execution using the existing directory. This allows for a symlink attack if an attacker were to create a symlink at /var/lock/apport, changing apport's lock file location. This file could then be used to escalate privileges, for example. Fixed in v... • https://launchpad.net/bugs/1862348 • CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') CWE-379: Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions •

30 Oct 2019 — Apport reads and writes information on a crashed process to /proc/pid with elevated privileges. Apport then determines which user the crashed process belongs to by reading /proc/pid through get_pid_info() in data/apport. An unprivileged user could exploit this to read information about a privileged running process by exploiting PID recycling. This information could then be used to obtain ASLR offsets for a process with an existing memory corruption vulnerability. The initial fix introduced regressions in th... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/172858 • CWE-250: Execution with Unnecessary Privileges CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management •

30 Oct 2019 — Kevin Backhouse discovered that apport would read a user-supplied configuration file with elevated privileges. By replacing the file with a symbolic link, a user could get apport to read any file on the system as root, with unknown consequences. Kevin Backhouse detectó que Apport leería un archivo de configuración suministrado por el usuario con privilegios elevados. Al reemplazar el archivo por un enlace simbólico, un usuario podría lograr que Apport lea cualquier archivo sobre el sistema como root, con co... • https://packetstorm.news/files/id/172858 • CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') •
