>From looking at the source code (bin/apport), apport does not record the
crash if a report exists already and has been seen by the user.
>From the code:
report = '%s/%s.%i.crash' % (apport.fileutils.report_dir,
info['ExecutablePath'].replace('/', '_'), pidstat.st_uid)
if os.path.exists(report):
if apport.fileutils.seen_report(report):
# do not flood the logs and the user with repeated crashes
crash_counter =
apport.fileutils.get_recent_crashes(open(report))
crash_counter += 1
if crash_counter > 1:
drop_privileges(pid)
write_user_coredump(pid, cwd, core_ulimit)
sys.exit(1)
else:
error_log('apport: report %s already exists and unseen, doing
nothing to avoid disk usage DoS' % report)
drop_privileges(pid)
write_user_coredump(pid, cwd, core_ulimit)
sys.exit(1)
