This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5
---------------
apport (2.20.7-0ubuntu3.5) artful-security; urgency=medium
[ Stéphane Graber ]
* REGRESSION UPDATE: Fix regression in previous upload by re-enabling
container support. (LP: #1732518)
* Add code preventing a user from confusing apport by using
a manually crafted filesystem inside a combination of a user and mount
namespace.
* Add a check in apport receiver for the number of arguments so that
should another argument be added later, the receiver will simply ignore
the crash until it itself gets updated.

Bug description:
The latest security update for apport disabled container crash
forwarding, this is a feature which users do rely on in production and
while it may have been appropriate to turn it off to put a security
update out, this needs to be re-enabled ASAP.
I provided a patch which fixed the security issue before the security
issue was publicly disclosed so pushing an SRU to all Ubuntu releases
re-enabling this code should be pretty trivial.
