Bug description:
  * SECURITY UPDATE: extractor now runs in a sandbox confined by libseccomp
      - extractor's filesystem and network access is limited to being read and
        local only (LP: #1648921)
      - No CVE number

  The tracker developers have recently confined their extractor to
  attempt to make tracker more resilient to attacks, especially
  involving flaws in gstreamer parsers.

  There is no CVE number assigned to this issue.
