Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream abrt-addon-xorg package and not the abrt-addon-xorg package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache help program in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) before 2.7.1 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack on unpacked.cpio in a pre-created directory with a predictable name in /var/tmp.
