Changelog
apport (2.20.9-0ubuntu7.28) bionic-security; urgency=medium
* SECURITY UPDATE: Fix multiple security issues
- test/test_report.py: Fix flaky test.
- data/apport: Fix too many arguments for error_log().
- data/apport: Use proper argument variable name executable_path.
- etc/init.d/apport: Set core_pipe_limit to a non-zero value to make
sure the kernel waits for apport to finish before removing the /proc
information.
- apport/fileutils.py, data/apport: Search for executable name if one
wan't provided such as when being called in a container.
- data/apport: Limit memory and duration of gdbus call. (CVE-2022-28654,
CVE-2022-28656)
- data/apport, apport/fileutils.py, test/test_fileutils.py: Validate
D-Bus socket location. (CVE-2022-28655)
- apport/fileutils.py, test/test_fileutils.py: Turn off interpolation
in get_config() to prevent DoS attacks. (CVE-2022-28652)
- Refactor duplicate code into search_map() function.
- Switch from chroot to container to validating socket owner.
(CVE-2022-1242, CVE-2022-28657)
- data/apport: Clarify error message.
- apport/fileutils.py: Fix typo in comment.
- apport/fileutils.py: Do not call str in loop.
- data/apport, etc/init.d/apport: Switch to using non-positional
arguments. Get real UID and GID from the kernel and make sure they
match the process. Also fix executable name space handling in
argument parsing. (CVE-2022-28658, CVE-2021-3899)
- debian/apport.init: restore symbolic link to proper directory.

Binary packages built by this source
- apport: automatically generate crash reports for debugging
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
.
This package also provides a command line frontend for browsing and
handling the crash reports. For desktops, you should consider
installing the GTK+ or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-kde).
- apport-gtk: GTK+ frontend for the apport crash report system
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
.
This package provides a GTK+ frontend for browsing and handling the
crash reports.
- apport-kde: KDE frontend for the apport crash report system
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
.
This package provides a KDE frontend for browsing and handling the
crash reports.
- apport-noui: tools for automatically reporting Apport crash reports
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
.
Installing this package will configure your system to automatically submit
all new Apport crash reports.
- apport-retrace: tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports
apport-retrace recombines an Apport crash report (either a file or a
Launchpad bug) and debug symbol packages (.ddebs) into fully symbolic
stack traces. This can optionally use a sandbox for installing debug symbol
packages and doing the processing, so that entire process of retracing crashes
can happen with normal user privileges without changing the system.
.
You need to install gdb-multiarch if you want to be able to retrace crash
reports which happened on a different architecture than the one you run
apport-retrace on.
- apport-valgrind: valgrind wrapper that first downloads debug symbols
apport-valgrind is a valgrind wrapper that automatically downloads related
available debug symbols and provides them to valgrind's memcheck tool, which
is executed. The output is a valgrind log file ("valgrind.log") that contains
stack traces (with as many symbols resolved as available) and that shows
memory leaks.
- dh-apport: debhelper extension for the apport crash report system
apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and
compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump
helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.
.
This package provides a debhelper extension to make it easier for other
packages to include apport hooks.
- python-apport: Python library for Apport crash report handling
This Python package provides high-level functions for creating and
handling apport crash reports:
.
* Query available and new reports.
* Add OS, packaging, and process runtime information to a report.
* Various frontend utility functions.
* Python hook to generate crash reports when Python scripts fail.
- python-problem-report: Python library to handle problem reports
This Python library provides an interface for creating, modifying,
and accessing standardized problem reports for program and kernel
crashes and packaging bugs.
.
These problem reports use standard Debian control format syntax
(RFC822).
- python3-apport: Python 3 library for Apport crash report handling
This Python package provides high-level functions for creating and
handling apport crash reports:
.
* Query available and new reports.
* Add OS, packaging, and process runtime information to a report.
* Various frontend utility functions.
* Python hook to generate crash reports when Python scripts fail.
- python3-problem-report: Python 3 library to handle problem reports
This Python library provides an interface for creating, modifying,
and accessing standardized problem reports for program and kernel
crashes and packaging bugs.
.
These problem reports use standard Debian control format syntax
(RFC822).
