CVE-2026-54228 Details
Description
A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition was found in the abrt-dbus D-Bus service's SetElement method. Between dump directory creation and post-create event execution, any local user can call SetElement to write arbitrary text files into the root-owned dump directory, bypassing package validation and allowing crashes of unpackaged binaries to survive post-create processing.
A time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition has been identified in the ABRT (Automatic Bug Reporting Tool) D-Bus service, specifically in the SetElement method. This vulnerability allows local users to write arbitrary text files into a root-owned dump directory. The issue arises between the creation of the dump directory and the execution of post-create events. By exploiting this window, users can bypass package validation and manipulate the handling of crashes from unpackaged binaries.
Users on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 are advised to disable or remove ABRT, as it is not available in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 or later. Fedora users should consider using systemd-coredump for crash handling, as ABRT is being phased out. Additionally, restrict local user access to systems running ABRT.
