[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1854237@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.11-0ubuntu8.5

---------------
apport (2.20.11-0ubuntu8.5) eoan; urgency=medium

  * data/whoopsie-upload-all: append to the crash report using fdopen and open
    from os to cope with protected_regular being set to 1. (LP: #1848064)

  [ Michael Hudson-Doyle ]
  * Fix autopkgtest failures since recent security update: (LP: #1854237)
    - Fix regression in creating report for crashing setuid process by getting
      kernel to tell us the executable path rather than reading
      /proc/[pid]/exe.
    - Fix deletion of partially written core files.
    - Fix test_get_logind_session to use new API.
    - Restore add_proc_info raising ValueError for a dead process.
    - Delete test_lock_symlink, no longer applicable now that the lock is
      created in a directory only root can write to.

  autopkgtests fail after security fixes

Bug description:
  The following autopkgtests fail after the recent security fixes:

  log:FAIL: test_get_logind_session (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_core_dump_packaged (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_core_dump_unpackaged (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_crash_setuid_drop (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_crash_setuid_keep (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_crash_setuid_nonwritable_cwd (__main__.T)
  log:FAIL: test_lock_symlink (__main__.T)

  test_get_logind_session is a test failing to keep up with an API
  change. test_core_dump_* is failures to remove partly written core
  files. Both of these are easy fixes, I'll have a MP for them soon.

  test_crash_setuid_* are caused by the dropping of privileges when
  accessing the crashing process's /proc. They seem to be testing
  behaviour now explicitly forbidden by the fix to be honest!

  test_lock_symlink fails because the lock file is now always in
  /var/lock/apport/ and not in $APPORT_REPORT_DIR. I guess we could
  update the test, but is it really worth it after the fix?
