Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) allows local users to read, change the ownership of, or have other unspecified impact on arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /var/tmp/abrt/*/maps, (2) /tmp/jvm-*/hs_error.log, (3) /proc/*/exe, (4) /etc/os-release in a chroot, or (5) an unspecified root directory related to librpm.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-3315 is a local file-handling flaw in ABRT, the Automatic Bug Reporting Tool. A person who already has local access could abuse symlinks around crash-analysis files to read or change ownership of arbitrary files. This is primarily a local privilege-boundary risk, not a remote internet-facing bug. Exposure is most likely on older Linux systems running vulnerable ABRT packages addressed by Red Hat advisories or upstream fixes. Risk depends on whether untrusted local users, shared shell access, containers, or multi-tenant workloads can interact with ABRT-triggered crash handling. Treat this as a medium operational hygiene issue unless affected systems are shared, multi-tenant, or expose local access to untrusted users. Patch legacy ABRT deployments, but do not rank it like a remote code execution emergency based on the provided evidence. Mitigation focus: Apply vendor ABRT updates referenced by Red Hat advisories.; Confirm deployed ABRT packages include the upstream security commits.; Reduce unnecessary local shell access on affected systems..
