Descriptions

Apport through 2.20.7 does not properly handle core dumps from setuid binaries allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion or possibly gain root privileges. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-1324.

Apport, hasta la versión 2.20.7, no gestiona adecuadamente lo volcados de núcleo de binarios setuid, lo que permite que los usuarios locales creen ciertos archivos como root. Un atacante podría aprovechar estos archivos para realizar una denegación de servicio (DoS) mediante el agotamiento de recursos o, posiblemente, obtener privilegios root. NOTA: Esta vulnerabilidad existe debido a una solución incompleta para CVE-2015-1324.
