Original advisory details:

 Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport would read its user-controlled settings
 file as the root user. This could be used by a local attacker to possibly
 crash Apport or have other unspecified consequences. (CVE-2019-11481)

 Sander Bos discovered a race-condition in Apport during core dump
 creation. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash report
 for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user.
 (CVE-2019-11482)

 Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled crash dumps originating from
 containers. This could be used by a local attacker to generate a crash
 report for a privileged process that is readable by an unprivileged user.
 (CVE-2019-11483)

 Sander Bos discovered Apport mishandled lock-file creation. This could be
 used by a local attacker to cause a denial of service against Apport.
 (CVE-2019-11485)

 Kevin Backhouse discovered Apport read various process-specific files with
 elevated privileges during crash dump generation. This could could be used
 by a local attacker to generate a crash report for a privileged process
 that is readable by an unprivileged user. (CVE-2019-15790)");
