Descriptions
Apport before 2.13 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers.
Apport, en versiones anteriores a la 2.13, no gestiona adecuadamente los cierres inesperados provenientes de un espacio de nombre PID, lo que permite que los usuarios locales creen ciertos archivos como root. Un atacante podrÃa aprovechar estos archivos para realizar una denegación de servicio (DoS) mediante el agotamiento de recursos o, posiblemente, obtener privilegios root o escapar de contenedores.
