Updated abrt and libreport packages that fix two security issues are nowavailable for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as havingimportant security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System basescores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for eachvulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. ABRT is a tool to help users to detectdefects in applications and to create a bug report with all the informationneeded by a maintainer to fix it. It uses a plug-in system to extend itsfunctionality. libreport provides an API for reporting different problemsin applications to different bug targets, such as Bugzilla, FTP, and Trac.It was found that the/usr/libexec/abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache tool did notsufficiently sanitize its environment variables. This could lead to Pythonmodules being loaded and run from non-standard directories .A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to thatof the abrt user. A race condition was found in the way ABRT handled the directories used tostore information about crashes. A local attacker with the privileges ofthe abrt user could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack,possibly allowing them to escalate their privileges to root.Red Hat would like to thank Martin Carpenter of Citco for reporting theCVE-2012-5660 issue. CVE-2012-5659 was discovered by Miloslav Trmač of RedHat.All users of abrt and libreport are advised to upgrade to these updatedpackages, which correct these issues.
