This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.19.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
apport (2.19.2-0ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release. Changes since previous snapshot:
    - SECURITY FIX: When determining the path of a Python module for a program
      like "python -m module_name", avoid actually importing and running the
      module; this could lead to local root privilege escalation. Thanks to
      Gabriel Campana for discovering this and the fix!
      (CVE-2015-1341, LP: #1507480)
    - test_backend_apt_dpkg.py: Reset internal apt caches between tests.
      Avoids random test failures due to leaking paths from previous test
      cases.
  * debian/control: Adjust Vcs-Bzr: for xenial branch.
  * debian/control: Drop obsolete XS-Testsuite: header.
