[Bug 1732518] Re: Please re-enable container support in apport

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.13

---------------
apport (2.20.1-0ubuntu2.13) xenial-security; urgency=medium

  * REGRESSION UPDATE: Fix regression in previous upload by re-enabling
    container support. (LP: #1732518)
  * REGRESSION UPDATE: Fix the core_pattern for upstart based systems to
    include the dump mode.
  * Add code preventing a user from confusing apport by using
    a manually crafted filesystem inside a combination of a user and mount
    namespace.
  * Add a check in apport receiver for the number of arguments so that
    should another argument be added later, the receiver will simply ignore
    the crash until it itself gets updated.

Bug description:
  The latest security update for apport disabled container crash
  forwarding, this is a feature which users do rely on in production and
  while it may have been appropriate to turn it off to put a security
  update out, this needs to be re-enabled ASAP.

  I provided a patch which fixed the security issue before the security
  issue was publicly disclosed so pushing an SRU to all Ubuntu releases
  re-enabling this code should be pretty trivial.
