Title

Abrt: event handler scripts follow symlinks when writing output files, allowing arbitrary file overwrites

Summary

A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system.

Severity

ALSA-2026:54272

Vulnerability from osv_almalinux – Published: 2026-08-12 00:00 – Updated: 2026-08-12 12:33 – Source website

Summary

Important: abrt security update

Details

The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) recognizes defects in applications and creates bug reports that help maintainers fix the defects. ABRT uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality.

Security Fix(es):

abrt: TOCTOU race condition in abrt-dbus SetElement allows arbitrary file writes to dump directories (CVE-2026-54228)
abrt: ChownProblemDir succeeds during active post-create event processing due to inadequate locking (CVE-2026-54229)
abrt: event handler scripts follow symlinks when writing output files, allowing arbitrary file overwrites (CVE-2026-54230)
abrt: unsanitized systemd journal content written to dump directory files enables content injection (CVE-2026-54231)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

RLSA-2026:54272 (CVE-2026-54228)

Vulnerability from osv_rocky – Published: 2026-08-13 06:01 – Updated: 2026-08-27 06:11 – Source website

Summary

Important: abrt security update

Details

The Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) recognizes defects in applications and creates bug reports that help maintainers fix the defects. ABRT uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality.

Security Fix(es):

abrt: TOCTOU race condition in abrt-dbus SetElement allows arbitrary file writes to dump directories (CVE-2026-54228)
abrt: ChownProblemDir succeeds during active post-create event processing due to inadequate locking (CVE-2026-54229)
abrt: event handler scripts follow symlinks when writing output files, allowing arbitrary file overwrites (CVE-2026-54230)
abrt: unsanitized systemd journal content written to dump directory files enables content injection (CVE-2026-54231)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Severity

7.8 (High)
