A race condition was found in the abrt-dbus D-Bus service's ChownProblemDir method. ChownProblemDir opens the dump directory with DD_OPEN_READONLY and calls dd_chown to change ownership of all files to the caller's uid, succeeding even while post-create event handlers hold a write lock. This allows an attacker to gain filesystem-level control of the dump directory while privileged event scripts are still running.

The remote RockyLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RLSA-2026:54272 advisory.

    * abrt: TOCTOU race condition in abrt-dbus SetElement allows arbitrary file writes to dump directories     (CVE-2026-54228)

    * abrt: ChownProblemDir succeeds during active post-create event processing due to inadequate locking     (CVE-2026-54229)

    * abrt: event handler scripts follow symlinks when writing output files, allowing arbitrary file     overwrites (CVE-2026-54230)

    * abrt: unsanitized systemd journal content written to dump directory files enables content injection     (CVE-2026-54231)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the RockyLinux security advisory.
