Most new cars have 2 hydraulics circuits, and they are diagonally split (FR/RL, and FL,RR are both connected hydraulically). The master cyl has 2 seperate seals to pressurize these.

If both the front driver and rear passenger don't have pressure, I would suspect the seal in the master cylinder that pressurizes them is shot.
