NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apport package and not the apport package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Apport 2.12.5 and earlier uses weak permissions for core dump files created by setuid binaries, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the file.
