    CVE-2026-54231 (GCVE-0-2026-54231)

    Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-06-13 02:34 – Updated: 2026-06-15 21:43
    VLAI
    Title
    Abrt: unsanitized systemd journal content written to dump directory files enables content injection
    Summary
    A content injection vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. The event script queries the systemd journal for log entries matching the crashed process and writes the results to files in the dump directory without sanitizing embedded control characters. A local user can inject arbitrary content into the journal output by embedding newline characters in syslog messages, controlling the content that root writes to dump directory files.

    Title
    Abrt: event handler scripts follow symlinks when writing output files, allowing arbitrary file overwrites
    Summary
    A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system.

    CVE-2026-54231 (GCVE-0-2026-54231)

    Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-13 02:34 – Updated: 2026-06-15 21:43
    VLAI
    Title
    Abrt: unsanitized systemd journal content written to dump directory files enables content injection
    Summary
    A content injection vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. The event script queries the systemd journal for log entries matching the crashed process and writes the results to files in the dump directory without sanitizing embedded control characters. A local user can inject arbitrary content into the journal output by embedding newline characters in syslog messages, controlling the content that root writes to dump directory files.

    Summary
    A symlink following vulnerability was found in the ABRT post-create event handler scripts in libreport. Event scripts write output files using shell redirections without the O_NOFOLLOW flag. If the target file is replaced with a symlink, the shell process running as root follows the symlink and writes content to the symlink target, allowing arbitrary file overwrites on the system.
