Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.871508
Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Update for libreport RHSA-2015:2504-01
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'libreport'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'libreport'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
libreport provides an API for reporting
different problems in applications to different bug targets, such as Bugzilla,
FTP, and Trac. ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) uses libreport.

It was found that ABRT may have exposed unintended information to Red Hat
Bugzilla during crash reporting. A bug in the libreport library caused
changes made by a user in files included in a crash report to be discarded.
As a result, Red Hat Bugzilla attachments may contain data that was not
intended to be made public, including host names, IP addresses, or command
line options. (CVE-2015-5302)

This flaw did not affect default installations of ABRT on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux as they do not post data to Red Hat Bugzilla. This feature
can however be enabled, potentially impacting modified ABRT instances.

As a precaution, Red Hat has identified bugs filed by such non-default Red
Hat Enterprise Linux users of ABRT and marked them private.

This issue was discovered by Bastien Nocera of Red Hat.

All users of libreport are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which corrects this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
libreport on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Desktop (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6),
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
