    descriptionKevin Backhouse discovered Apport would read its user-controlled settings file as the root user. This could be used by a local attacker to possibly crash Apport or have other unspecified consequences. (CVE-2019-11481) Sander Bos discovered a race-condition in Apport during core dump creation. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-11482) Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled crash dumps originating from containers. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-11483) Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled lock-file creation. This could be used by a local attacker to cause a denial of service against Apport. (CVE-2019-11485) Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport read various process-specific files with elevated privileges during crash dump generation. This could could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-15790). Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    We apologize for the inconvenience.
    
    Original advisory details :
    
    Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport would read its user-controlled
    settings file as the root user. This could be used by a local attacker
    to possibly crash Apport or have other unspecified consequences.
    (CVE-2019-11481)
    
    Sander Bos discovered a race-condition in Apport during core
    dump creation. This could be used by a local attacker to
    generate a crash report for a privileged process that is
    readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-11482)
    
    Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled crash dumps
    originating from containers. This could be used by a local
    attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process
    that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-11483)
    
    Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled lock-file creation.
    This could be used by a local attacker to cause a denial of
    service against Apport. (CVE-2019-11485)
    
    Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport read various
    process-specific files with elevated privileges during crash
    dump generation. This could could be used by a local
    attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process
    that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-15790).
