785163: CVE-2012-1106 abrt: Setuid process core dump archived with unsafe GID permissions

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

The C handler plug-in in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT), possibly 2.0.8 and earlier, does not properly set the group (GID) permissions on core dump files for setuid programs when the sysctl fs.suid_dumpable option is set to 2, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information.
