Public bug reported: In Xenial, running linux 4.4.0-15-generic and procps 2:3.3.10-4ubuntu2, I see that the security data column has changed to displaying the AppArmor confinement mode:
$ ps wZ $(pidof cups-browsed) LABEL PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND /usr/sbin/cups-browsed (enforce) 786 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed This is different than what is displayed in 15.10: $ ps wZ $(pidof cups-browsed) LABEL PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND /usr/sbin/cups-browsed 548 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed There was a large AppArmor kernel change in Xenial's 4.4.0-15-generic so to rule that out, I booted into an earlier Xenial kernel and saw the same issue: $ uname -a Linux sec-xenial-i386 4.4.0-7-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 18 20:50:09 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux $ ps wZ $(pidof cups-browsed) LABEL PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND /usr/sbin/cups-browsed (enforce) 631 ? Ssl 0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed ** Affects: procps (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1561330 Title: ps security data column includes AppArmor confinement mode in 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/procps/+bug/1561330/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
