CentOS Update for libreport CESA-2015:2504 centos6. ABRT may have exposed unintended information to Red Hat Bugzilla during crash reporting. A bug in the libreport library caused changes made by a user in files included in a crash report to be discarded. As a precaution, Red Hat has identified bugs filed by non-default Red Hat Enterprise Linux users of ABRT and marked them private

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"libreport provides an API for reporting
different problems in applications to different bug targets, such as Bugzilla,
FTP, and Trac. ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) uses libreport.

It was found that ABRT may have exposed unintended information to Red Hat
Bugzilla during crash reporting. A bug in the libreport library caused
changes made by a user in files included in a crash report to be discarded.
As a result, Red Hat Bugzilla attachments may contain data that was not
intended to be made public, including host names, IP addresses, or command
line options. (CVE-2015-5302)

This flaw did not affect default installations of ABRT on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux as they do not post data to Red Hat Bugzilla. This feature
can however be enabled, potentially impacting modified ABRT instances.

As a precaution, Red Hat has identified bugs filed by such non-default Red
Hat Enterprise Linux users of ABRT and marked them private.

This issue was discovered by Bastien Nocera of Red Hat.

All users of libreport are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which corrects this issue.");
