CVE-2015-1324 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Apport in various Ubuntu Linux versions (12.04 LTS, 14.04 LTS, 14.10, and 15.04). It allows local users to write to arbitrary files and gain root privileges due to incorrect permission handling during core dump generation for setuid binaries. The vulnerability has a CVSS v3 score of 7.8 (High), indicating a low attack complexity and requiring local user access, but leading to high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There is no public exploit code available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), nor is it listed on the KEV catalog, suggesting it is not actively exploited in the wild. Community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
