      <title>CVE-2018-6552 — Apport treats the container PID as the global PID when /proc/&lt;global_pid&gt;/  is missing</title>
      <link>https://cve.radiocsirt.org/vuln/cve-2018-6552</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; Apport&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apport does not properly handle crashes originating from a PID namespace allowing local users to create certain files as root which an attacker could leverage to perform a denial of service via resource exhaustion, possibly gain root privileges, or escape from containers. The is_same_ns() function returns True when /proc/&amp;lt;global pid&amp;gt;/ does not exist in order to indicate that the crash should be handled in the global namespace rather than inside of a container. However, the portion of the data/apport code that decides whether or not to forward a crash to a container does not always replace sys.argv[1] with the value stored in the host_pid variable when /proc/&amp;lt;global pid&amp;gt;/ does not exist which results in the container pid being used in the global namespace. This flaw affects versions 2.20.8-0ubuntu4 through 2.20.9-0ubuntu7, 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.7, 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.8, 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.15 through 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.17, and 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.28.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
