Severity CVSS v4.0:

Pending analysis

Type:

CWE-362 Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Publication date:

Description

A race condition was found in the abrt-dbus D-Bus service&#39;s ChownProblemDir method. ChownProblemDir opens the dump directory with DD_OPEN_READONLY and calls dd_chown to change ownership of all files to the caller&#39;s uid, succeeding even while post-create event handlers hold a write lock. This allows an attacker to gain filesystem-level control of the dump directory while privileged event scripts are still running.
