CVE-2023-1326

local privilege escalation in apport-cli

Published Apr 13, 2023 CVSS 3.1 · 7.7 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
A privilege escalation attack was found in apport-cli 2.26.0 and earlier which is similar to CVE-2023-26604. If a system is specially configured to allow unprivileged users to run sudo apport-cli, less is configured as the pager, and the terminal size can be set: a local attacker can escalate privilege. It is extremely unlikely that a system administrator would configure sudo to allow unprivileged users to perform this class of exploit.
