Descriptions

The crash reporting feature in Apport 2.13 through 2.17.x before 2.17.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted usr/share/apport/apport file in a namespace (container).

La característica de informes de caídas en Apport 2.13 hasta 2.17.x anterior a 2.17.1 permite a usuarios locales ganar privilegios a través de un fichero usr/share/apport/apport manipulado en un espacio de nombre (contenedor).

Apport incorrectly handled the crash reporting feature. A local attacker could use this issue to gain elevated privileges.
