Category:	CentOS Local Security Checks
Title:	CentOS Update for abrt CESA-2013:0215 centos6
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'abrt'; package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'abrt' package(s) announced via the referenced advisory. Vulnerability Insight: ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) is a tool to help users to detect defects in applications and to create a bug report with all the information needed by a maintainer to fix it. It uses a plug-in system to extend its functionality. libreport provides an API for reporting different problems in 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 not sufficiently sanitize its environment variables. This could lead to Python modules being loaded and run from non-standard directories (such as /tmp/). A local attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges to that of the abrt user. (CVE-2012-5659) A race condition was found in the way ABRT handled the directories used to store information about crashes. A local attacker with the privileges of the abrt user could use this flaw to perform a symbolic link attack, possibly allowing them to escalate their privileges to root. (CVE-2012-5660) Red Hat would like to thank Martin Carpenter of Citco for reporting the CVE-2012-5660 issue. CVE-2012-5659 was discovered by Miloslav Trma of Red Hat. All users of abrt and libreport are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues. Affected Software/OS: abrt on CentOS 6 Solution: Please install the updated packages. CVSS Score: 6.9 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
