Abrt: abrt: abrt-server trusts client-supplied pid= allowing unprivileged read of other processes' /proc environ

Published Nov 13, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.5 Medium EPSS n/a KEV · Not listed
Description
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 allows a local attacker to read environment variables and related metadata of other users' or root processes when abrtd is running.

Remediation

Vendor Workaround

Disable or remove ABRT if not required: systemctl disable --now abrtd.service abrt-journal-core.service abrt-oops.service abrt-xorg.service. Restrict local interactive user access on systems that keep abrtd enabled.
