Version: 4.6.0-2
Severity: important

After the kernel upgrade to 4.18 in unstable, attempts to start a VM
fail with messages like:

audit[17319]: AVC apparmor="DENIED" operation="ptrace"
profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd" pid=17319 comm="libvirtd"
requested_mask="read" denied_mask="read"

The same issue was previously experienced by Ubuntu developers [1],
who produced a patch [2] that was incorporated into libvirt upstream
[3]. This commit was included in the 4.7.0 release of libvirt.
