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 abrt-action-install-debuginfo-to-abrt-cache help program in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) does not properly handle the process environment before invoking abrt-action-install-debuginfo, which allows local users to gain privileges.
