    Seong-Joong Kim discovered that Apport incorrectly parsed configuration files. A local attacker could use
    this issue to cause Apport to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2020-15701)

    Ryota Shiga working with Trend Micros Zero Day Initiative, discovered that Apport incorrectly
    implemented certain checks. A local attacker could use this issue to escalate privileges and run arbitrary
