Summary
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 .crash file.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
2.10% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 82% of all scored CVEs.
