Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed- focal to verification-done-focal. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification- failed-focal. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Focal) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-focal ** Changed in: apport (Ubuntu Groovy) Status: Incomplete => Fix Committed ** Tags added: verification-needed-groovy -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apport in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1906565 Title: traceback when running apport as non-root user Status in apport package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apport source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Focal: Fix Committed Status in apport source package in Groovy: Fix Committed Bug description: [Impact] The apport-test-crashes package, which is used to test the Error Tracker deployments, fails produce crash files for binary applications since "various security hardening fixes" were included in apport. The problematic change is the dropping of supplemental groups in data/apport. This results in a PermissionError as it is not the root user who is calling /usr/share/apport/apport. [Test Case] The least convulted test case involves using the generate-sigsegv-crash.py script from apport-test-crashes. This ends up using a command similar to '/usr/share/apport/apport -p 4077 -s 11 -E /usr/bin/gnome-calculator < /tmp/20.10-gnome-calculator.core' which then will encounter the Traceback. 1) Comment out "check_lock()" in /usr/share/apport/apport (This is necessary as we are not running as root) 2) Put a copy of generate-sigsegv-crash.py on disk. 3) Run 'python3 /tmp/generate-sigsegv-crash.py cat' 4) Observe the following Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/tmpvkt5d266/apport", line 599, in <module> drop_privileges(True) File "/tmp/tmpvkt5d266/apport", line 125, in drop_privileges os.setgroups([]) PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted With the version of apport from -proposed you'll receive no such Traceback. [Regression Potential] If there is an error in the python code we code see a new traceback for any and all crashes being generated, so ensure regular crash generation works too. apport-test-crashes code is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~daisy-pluckers/error-tracker-deployment/test-crashes/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/1906565/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
