Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7; Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

A flaw was found in abrt. abrt-server trusts a client-supplied PID when creating problem dumps over abrt.socket and, running as root, copies that process's /proc data (including environ) into a dump directory owned by the connecting unprivileged user. This al…
