Bug description:
apparmor:5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu1 profiles have rules for gnu-coreutils
binaries are incompatible with gnu-coreutils v. 9.5-1ubuntu2 released
on May 08, 2025. Minimally this looks to affect wg-quick profile.
But there may be other profiles that are affected.
gnu-coreutils delivers new symlinks for /usr/bin/cat, /usr/bin/readlink and
105 other utilities in /usr/bin which point to /usr/bin/gnu<toolname>. Apparmor
resolves the symlink to the real target path which then breaks any apparmor
profile which referenced the format /usr/bin or /usr/sbin utility name.
The result is many DENIED operations for any symlinked gnu-coreutils command.
This bug appears to affect any apparmor profile in Ubuntu questing which
happens to set file-based mediation rules for any of the symlinked utilities
below:
Any profile which has specific file rules related to these utilities will
likely have DENIED messages in Ubuntu questing of the format:
