  CVE-2015-1318 - in Apport, an unprivileged user can use a
                  namespace-based attack because there is an execve by
                  root after a chroot into a user-specified directory

Yes, I assigned CVE-2015-1318 to that specific issue in Apport.

It looks like this is the patch for Apport:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~apport-hackers/apport/trunk/revision/2943#data/apport

It's far more complicated than I expected, and not obviously correct.
It could probably use some review, I'll think about it today.
