I'd like to understand better exactly how it happened that the user got this crash. Is it a matter of a corrupted .crash file on input, or is it that the user tried to feed in a file that was not intended to be input for apport-unpack? I see that the command line that triggered this appears to be taking a 'core' file as input rather than a file ending in .crash, so I'm suspecting the latter.

If it's the latter, then I wouldn't normally consider this SRU-worthy (though it's borderline to consider it as part of a larger SRU).

If it's the former, then I would be concerned about why the invalid input happened in the first place, which I don't see addressed here.
