What is CVE-2009-1295?

The Apport tool in Ubuntu lacks proper file management in its crash-report directory, allowing privileged local users to exploit this weakness and delete arbitrary files. This can lead to unauthorized data manipulation, compromising system integrity and user data. Effective mitigation measures should be implemented to ensure the security and integrity of affected systems.
