Summary

apport regression

Details

USN-7545-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Apport. The update introduced a regression that raised an error if a crashing process was killed while Apport was analyzing it. This update fixes the problem.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Original advisory details:

Qualys discovered that Apport incorrectly handled metadata when processing application crashes. An attacker could possibly use this issue to leak sensitive information.
