| CVE-2016-9949 | Hig | 0.55 | 7.8 | 0.18 | Dec 17, 2016 | An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and it then evaluates the field as Python code if it begins with a "{". This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code. | ||
| CVE-2016-9950 | Hig | 0.54 | 7.8 | 0.07 | Dec 17, 2016 | An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal issue in the Apport crash file "Package" and "SourcePackage" fields. These fields are used to build a path to the package specific hook files in the /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ directory. An attacker… | ||

| CVE-2017-10708 | Hig | 0.51 | 7.8 | 0.02 | Jul 18, 2017 | An issue was discovered in Apport through 2.20.x. In apport/report.py, Apport sets the ExecutablePath field and it then uses the path to run package specific hooks without protecting against path traversal. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted… | ||
| CVE-2016-9951 | Med | 0.46 | 6.5 | 0.07 | Dec 17, 2016 | An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. A malicious Apport crash file can contain a restart command in `RespawnCommand` or `ProcCmdline` fields. This command will be executed if a user clicks the Relaunch button on the Apport prompt from the malicious crash file. The… | ||
| CVE-2015-1338 | 0.03 | — | 0.01 | Oct 1, 2015 | kernel_crashdump in Apport before 2.19 allows local users to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) or possibly gain privileges via a (1) symlink or (2) hard link attack on /var/crash/vmcore.log. | |||
| CVE-2015-1318 | 0.03 | — | 0.04 | Apr 17, 2015 | The crash reporting feature in Apport 2.13 through 2.17.x before 2.17.1 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted usr/share/apport/apport file in a namespace (container). | |||
| CVE-2025-5467 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | Dec 10, 2025 | It was discovered that process_crash() in data/apport in Canonical's Apport crash reporting tool may create crash files with incorrect group ownership, possibly exposing crash information beyond expected or intended groups. | |||
| CVE-2025-5054 | 0.00 | — | 0.00 | May 30, 2025 | Race condition in Canonical apport up to and including 2.32.0 allows a local attacker to leak sensitive information via PID-reuse by leveraging namespaces. When handling a crash, the function `_check_global_pid_and_forward`, which detects if the crashing process resided in a… | |||
