apport (2.17.2-0ubuntu1) vivid; urgency=medium

  * New upstream bug fix release:
    - SECURITY UPDATE: Disable crash forwarding to containers. The previous
      fix in 2.17.1 was not sufficient against all attack scenarios. By
      binding to specially crafted sockes, a normal user program could forge
      arbitrary entries in /proc/net/unix. We cannot currently rely on a
      kernel-side solution for this; this feature will be re-enabled once it
      gets re-done to be secure. (LP: #1444518)
    - apport-kde: Fix crash when showing byte array values. Thanks Jonathan
      Riddell. (LP: #1443659)
    - Really create a better duplicate signature for recoverable problems,
      using ExecutablePath. Thanks Brian Murray. (LP: #1316763)
  * Disable Launchpad crash upload for final Ubuntu 15.04.
