apport (0.15) edgy; urgency=low
.
* Add apport-unpack: Script to extract the fields of a problem report into
separate files into a new or empty directory. Mainly useful for extracting
compressed binary data like the core dump.
* test-apport: Check that dumped environment only contains security
insensitive variables.
* apport: Filter out all environment variables but $SHELL, $PATH, and
locale/language related ones. Closes: LP#56846
* test-apport: Delete test report in the cleanup handler so that the
kernel-mode test can be run multiple times without manual cleanup.
* test-apport: Check for running apport and test executable processes in
check_crash().
* preloadlib/libapport.c: Improve error checking, some robustification.
* test-apport: If using the preload library, wait a second between the test
process invocations in the flooding test to mitigate a strange race
condition that sometimes causes the signal handler not to be executed.
