This bug was fixed in the package apport - 2.14.2-0ubuntu1
---------------
apport (2.14.2-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=medium
* New upstream release:
- Move error handling for invalid .crash files into collect_info(), so
that it also applies when using the "Show Details..." button in the UI.
Otherwise the UI just hangs eternally at this point when encountering
broken core dumps. (LP: #1282349)
- apt/dpkg install_packages(): Try to install the requested package
version instead of always picking the most recent one. This should
improve retracing results for older crash reports. Thanks to Brian
Murray for inspiring this.
- sandboxutils.py, make_sandbox(): When determining packages to install
from ProcMaps, look up and use the package versions from the reporter,
to improve retracing results. Thanks Brian Murray for the initial patch!
- iwlwifi_error_dump: Make reports private, and subscribe
canonical-kernel-team. Thanks Seth Forshee. (LP: #1313818)
- signal_crashes test: Time out after 5 seconds if the test process does
not terminate on the specified signal, to avoid eternal hangs.
- signal_crashes test: Ensure that we don't inherit an ignored SIGQUIT
from the caller.
* Switch Vcs-* to utopic branch.
* Add build-essential test dependency, some tests call gcc.
* Install iwl_wifi_error_dump and corresponding udev rules. (Second part of
LP: #1313818)

Title:
Crashes on invalid/broken core dumps when using "Show details..."
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “apport” source package in Trusty:
Triaged
Status in “apport” source package in Utopic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
TEST CASE:
- Produce a crash report: sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'; close the Apport popup
window.
- Edit /var/crash/_bin_dash.1000.crash; remove a few characters at the end of
the CoreDump field (at the very end of the file)
- Apport pops up again; click on "Show Details...", analysis will start, and
hang forever
- Apport should pop up a second time, for apport-gtk itself.
FIX: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~apport-
hackers/apport/trunk/revision/2789 (This includes a new test case
which reproduces this bug; the test suite already contains a
regression test for clicking the "Continue" button without showing
details.)
