LowCVSS 3.3 EPSS 0.52%
Apport reads and writes information on a crashed process to /proc/pid with elevated privileges. Apport then determines which user the crashed process belongs to by reading /proc/pid through get_pid_info() in data/apport. An unprivileged user could exploit this to read information...

MediumCVSS 4.7 EPSS 0.34%
Time-of-check Time-of-use Race Condition vulnerability on crash report ownership change in Apport allows for a possible privilege escalation opportunity. If fs.protected_symlinks is disabled, this can be exploited between the os.open and os.chown calls when the Apport cron script...

MediumCVSS 5.5 EPSS 0.65%
Apport creates a world writable lock file with root ownership in the world writable /var/lock/apport directory. If the apport/ directory does not exist (this is not uncommon as /var/lock is a tmpfs), it will create the directory, otherwise it will simply continue execution using...

LowCVSS 3.3 EPSS 0.26%
Sander Bos discovered Apport's lock file was in a world-writable directory which allowed all users to prevent crash handling.
-
LowCVSS 3.3 EPSS 0.40%
Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled crash dumps originating from containers. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user.

CVE-2019-11482 Race condition between reading current working directory and writing a core dump
PublishedMediumCVSS 4.7 EPSS 0.23%Sander Bos discovered a time of check to time of use (TOCTTOU) vulnerability in apport that allowed a user to cause core files to be written in arbitrary directories.
-
HighCVSS 7.8 EPSS 0.45%
Kevin Backhouse discovered that apport would read a user-supplied configuration file with elevated privileges. By replacing the file with a symbolic link, a user could get apport to read any file on the system as root, with unknown consequences.

CVE-2019-7307 Apport contains a TOCTTOU vulnerability when reading the users ~/.apport-ignore.xml
PublishedHighCVSS 7.0 EPSS 0.33%Apport before versions 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.29+esm1, 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.19, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.7, 2.20.10-0ubuntu27.1, 2.20.11-0ubuntu5 contained a TOCTTOU vulnerability when reading the users ~/.apport-ignore.xml file, which allows a local attacker to replace this file with a symlink to an...

CVE-2018-6552 Apport treats the container PID as the global PID when /proc/<global_pid>/ is missing
PublishedHighCVSS 7.8 EPSS 0.38%Apport 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. The is_...

HighCVSS 7.8 EPSS 2.1%
An issue was discovered in Apport through 2.20.x. In apport/report.py, Apport sets the ExecutablePath field and it then uses the path to run package specific hooks without protecting against path traversal. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .cra...
-
HighCVSS 7.8 EPSS 17.7%
An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and it then evaluates the field as Python code if it begins with a "{". This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code.
-
HighCVSS 7.8 EPSS 6.5%
An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal issue in the Apport crash file "Package" and "SourcePackage" fields. These fields are used to build a path to the package specific hook files in the /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ directory. An attacker...

MediumCVSS 6.5 EPSS 6.7%
An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. A malicious Apport crash file can contain a restart command in RespawnCommand or ProcCmdline fields. This command will be executed if a user clicks the Relaunch button on the Apport prompt from the malicious crash file. The fix is...

HighCVSS 7.2 EPSS 0.91%
kernel_crashdump in Apport before 2.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) or possibly gain privileges via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on /var/crash/vmcore.log.
-
HighCVSS 7.2 EPSS 4.2% Framework module Public exploit
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).
