Felix Wilhelm discovered a path traversal vulnerability in Apport when handling the ExecutablePath field in crash files. An attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted crash file and execute arbitrary code with the user’s privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
