The order of operations in the patch is incorrect; the suid_dumpable flag should be set _after_ the core pattern pipe has been set.
This is incorrect: + echo 2 > /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable echo "|/usr/share/apport/apport %p %s %c" > /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern It should be the other way around. Teardown is in the correct order. This was discovered in Saucy via kernel log messages: [ 9.366329] Unsafe core_pattern used with suid_dumpable=2. Pipe handler or fully qualified core dump path required.
