Description of problem: The applications /usr/bin/abrt-dump-journal-core /usr/bin/abrt-dump-journal-oops /usr/bin/abrt-dump-journal-xorg are running as root on an F23 installation by default. Since they just read syslog (no privileges needed) they could run as non-root user. Since they parse huge amounts unknown and probably untrusted data they should not run as root. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): abrt-2.7.1-1.fc23.x86_64 libreport-2.6.3-1.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: always
Same situation in F25.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
