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.
