A flaw was found in abrt. abrt-server trusts a client-supplied PID when creating problem dumps over abrt.socket and, running as root, copies that process's /proc data (including environ) into a dump directory owned by the connecting unprivileged user. This allows a local attacker to read environment variables and related metadata of other users' or root processes when abrtd is running.

Fixes

Solution

No solution given by the vendor.


Workaround

Disable or remove ABRT if not required: systemctl disable --now abrtd.service abrt-journal-core.service abrt-oops.service abrt-xorg.service. Restrict local interactive user access on systems that keep abrtd enabled.
