It was found that setroubleshoot did not sanitize file names supplied in a
shell command look-up for RPMs associated with access violation reports.
An attacker could use this flaw to escalate their privileges on the system
by supplying a specially crafted file to the underlying shell command.
(CVE-2015-1815)

Red Hat would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team for
reporting this issue.
