Summary
USN-2569-1 fixed a vulnerability in Apport. Tavis Ormandy discovered that
the fixed packages were still vulnerable to a privilege escalation attack.
This update completely disables crash report handling for containers until
a more complete solution is available.
Original advisory details:
Stéphane Graber and Tavis Ormandy independently discovered that Apport
incorrectly handled the crash reporting feature. A local attacker could use
this issue to gain elevated privileges.
