CVE-2012-1106 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The C handler plug-in in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT), possibly 2.0.8 and earlier, does not properly set the group (GID) permissions on core dump files for setuid programs when the sysctl fs.suid_dumpable option is set to 2, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.. EPSS estimates a 0.44% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
