CVE-2019-7307 [HIGH] CWE-367 CVE-2019-7307: Apport before versions 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.29+esm1, 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.19, 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.7, 2.20.10-0ubun 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 any other file on the system and so cause Apport to include the contents of t

CVE-2018-6552 [HIGH] CVE-2018-6552: Apport does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to cre 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_same_ns() function returns True when /proc// does not exist in order to indicate th

CVE-2017-14180 [HIGH] CVE-2017-14180: Apport 2.13 through 2.20.7 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowin Apport 2.13 through 2.20.7 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 or possibly gain root privileges, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-14179.

CVE-2017-14177 [HIGH] CVE-2017-14177: Apport through 2.20.7 does not properly handle core dumps from setuid binaries allowing local users 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.

CVE-2017-14179 [HIGH] CWE-400 CVE-2017-14179: Apport before 2.13 does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local 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.

CVE-2017-10708 [HIGH] CWE-22 CVE-2017-10708: An issue was discovered in Apport through 2.20.x. In apport/report.py, Apport sets the ExecutablePat 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 .crash file.

CVE-2016-9949 [HIGH] CWE-94 CVE-2016-9949: An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and 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.

CVE-2016-9950 [HIGH] CWE-22 CVE-2016-9950: An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal issue in the Apport crash 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 can exploit this path traversal to execute arbitrary Python files from the l

CVE-2016-9951 [MEDIUM] CWE-284 CVE-2016-9951: An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. A malicious Apport crash file can contain a restart 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 to only show the Relaunch button on Apport crash files generated by l

CVE-2015-1338 [HIGH] CWE-59 CVE-2015-1338: kernel_crashdump in Apport before 2.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consump 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.

CVE-2015-1318 [HIGH] CWE-264 CVE-2015-1318: The crash reporting feature in Apport 2.13 through 2.17.x before 2.17.1 allows local users to gain p 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).
