Description OSIDB Bzimport 2025-05-29 19:07:49 UTC 
A race condidition in systemd-coredump allows a local attacker to crash a SUID program and gain read access to the resulting core dump
Comment 3 errata-xmlrpc 2025-12-03 11:38:43 UTC 
This issue has been addressed in the following products:

  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Via RHSA-2025:22660 https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2025:22660
Comment 5 Randall Brewer 2026-01-15 09:59:31 UTC 
This race condition in systemd-coredump is particularly concerning, as it allows a local attacker not only to crash a SUID program but also to gain unauthorized read access to the generated core dump. This could potentially expose sensitive information such as credentials or memory contents, increasing the overall security risk. https://basketballstars2026.github.io
