Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-9949 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (apport), 6 status rows across 6 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 3, not-affected 2, needs-triage 1.
An issue was discovered in Apport before 2.20.4. In apport/ui.py, Apport reads the CrashDB field and it then evaluates the field as Python code if it begins with a "{". This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Python code.
