Synopsis: Moderate: abrt and libreport security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2015:2505-1
Issue Date: 2015-11-23
CVE Numbers: CVE-2015-5302
 CVE-2015-5273
 CVE-2015-5287
--

It was found that the ABRT debug information installer (abrt-action-
install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache) did not use temporary directories in a
secure way. A local attacker could use the flaw to create symbolic links
and files at arbitrary locations as the abrt user. (CVE-2015-5273)

It was discovered that the kernel-invoked coredump processor provided by
ABRT did not handle symbolic links correctly when writing core dumps of
ABRT programs to the ABRT dump directory (/var/spool/abrt). A local
attacker with write access to an ABRT problem directory could use this
flaw to escalate their privileges. (CVE-2015-5287)

It was found that ABRT may have exposed unintended information to Red Hat
Bugzilla during crash reporting. A bug in the libreport library caused
changes made by a user in files included in a crash report to be
discarded. As a result, Red Hat Bugzilla attachments may contain data that
was not intended to be made public, including host names, IP addresses, or
command line options. (CVE-2015-5302)

This flaw did not affect default installations of ABRT on Scientific Linux
as they do not post data to Red Hat Bugzilla. This feature can however be
enabled, potentially impacting modified ABRT instances. With this update
Scientific Linux will no longer publish the rhel-autoreport tools.
