Red Hat Security Advisory 2015-2505-01 – ABRT 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 ABRT debug information installer did not use temporary directories in a secure way. A local attacker could use the flaw to create symbolic links and files at arbitrary locations as the abrt user.
