Stephane Chazelas discovered that Apport did not safely remove files from its crash report directory. If Apport had been enabled at some point, a local attacker could remove arbitrary files from the system.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
