USN-3354-1: Apport vulnerability

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...

CVE-2017-10708

An issue was discovered in Apport through 2.20.x. In apport/report.py, Apport sets the ExecutablePath field and it then uses the path to run package specific hooks without protecting against path traversal. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .crash file...

Ubuntu Apport < 2.20.4 Code Execution on Ubuntu Desktop（CVE-2016-9949）

This research was inspired by Chris Evan’s great work on exploiting client-side file format parsing bugs in the gstreamer media library on Ubuntu. We will look for other default file handlers on Ubuntu which may be vulnerable to exploitation. I’m not a binary exploitation guru like Chris so inste...

Internet Bug Bounty: RCE on default Ubuntu Desktop >= 12.10 Quantal

I recently reported a number of vulnerabilities in Canonical's Apport crash report software. These bugs provided RCE on a default install of Ubuntu Desktop = 12.10 upon opening a malicious file. I reported the issues to the Apport maintainers and we coordinate the disclosure of these issues. Is t...

Path traversal

An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal issue in the Apport crash file "Package" and "SourcePackage" fields. These fields are used to build a path to the package specific hook files in the /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ directory. An attacker can exploit this...

Command injection

An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. A malicious Apport crash file can contain a restart command in RespawnCommand or ProcCmdline fields. This command will be executed if a user clicks the Relaunch button on the Apport prompt from the malicious crash file. The fix is to only show the...
