Upgrade Ubuntu:20.04 apport to version 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.26 or higher.
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:20.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
A privilege escalation attack was found in apport-cli 2.26.0 and earlier which is similar to CVE-2023-26604. If a system is specially configured to allow unprivileged users to run sudo apport-cli, less is configured as the pager, and the terminal size can be set: a local attacker can escalate privilege. It is extremely unlikely that a system administrator would configure sudo to allow unprivileged users to perform this class of exploit.
