AI-suggested
Red Hat advises disabling or removing ABRT services if they are not required using systemctl commands to stop and disable abrtd.service, abrt-journal-core.service, abrt-oops.service, and abrt-xorg.service. Additionally, restrict local interactive user access on systems where ABRT remains installed. Note that abrt-dbus remains activatable via D-Bus even if abrtd is stopped. Users should consult the Red Hat advisory for updates and consider applying fixes when available.
Description
CVE-2026-110331 is a vulnerability in the abrt component of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 where an incomplete mitigation allows local attackers to bypass authorization checks. The flaw arises because the completeness check only verifies the presence of a "count" element in dump directories, which can be created by unprivileged users. This enables attackers to poison elements or seize ownership of dump directories while privileged ABRT handlers process them. The issue is related to but distinct from previous CVEs CVE-2026-54228 and CVE-2026-54229. Mitigation involves disabling or removing ABRT if not required and restricting local user access.
