CVE-2016-9950

An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. There is a path traversal
issue in the Apport crash file “Package” and “SourcePackage” fields. These
fields are used to build a path to the package specific hook files in the
/usr/share/apport/package-hooks/ directory. An attacker can exploit this
path traversal to execute arbitrary Python files from the local system.
