NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream abrt-libs package and not the abrt-libs package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The C handler plug-in in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT), possibly 2.0.8 and earlier, does not properly set the group (GID) permissions on core dump files for setuid programs when the sysctl fs.suid_dumpable option is set to 2, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
