Details
Ryota Shiga working with Trend Micro´s Zero Day Initiative, discovered that Apport incorrectly dropped privileges when making certain D-Bus calls. A local attacker could use this issue to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2020-11936)
Seong-Joong Kim discovered that Apport incorrectly parsed configuration files. A local attacker could use this issue to cause Apport to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-15701)
Ryota Shiga working with Trend Micro´s Zero Day Initiative, discovered that Apport incorrectly implemented certain checks. A local attacker could use this issue to escalate privileges and run arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-15702)
