I prepped the two MPs for the SRU as this isn't the biggest impact fix, but OTOH patch-on-a-platter and also easy to review for code/impact.
** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Disco) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: rsyslog (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Description changed: [Impact] - * rsyslog ships with a (Default disable) apparmor profile. - * Security sensitive users are in general encouraged to enable such - profiles but unfortunately due to slightly new behavior of the program - the profile prevents its usage. - * Allow the program to map/read its binary to get this working again + * rsyslog ships with a (Default disable) apparmor profile. + * Security sensitive users are in general encouraged to enable such + profiles but unfortunately due to slightly new behavior of the program + the profile prevents its usage. + * Allow the program to map/read its binary to get this working again [Test Case] 1) Create a 'eoan' container called rs1 here: lxc launch ubuntu-daily:e rs1 2) Enter the container lxc shell rs1 3) Enable apparmor profile rm /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.rsyslogd apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.rsyslogd systemctl restart rsyslog 4) notice rsyslog failed to start systemctl status rsyslog [Regression Potential] - * This is just opening up the apparmor profile a bit. Therefore the only - regression it could cause IMHO is a security issue. But then what it - actually allows is reading (not writing!) its own binary which should - be very safe. + * This is just opening up the apparmor profile a bit.

This is a general regression risk for any upload, but in this + case worth to mention as it is about log handling - which if broken - + makes large scale systems hard to debug. [Other Info] - - * n/a + + * n/a --- Issue description: Enabling the rsyslog (disabled by default) Apparmor profile causes rsyslog to fail to start when running *inside a container*. Steps to reproduce: 1) Create a 'eoan' container called rs1 here: lxc launch ubuntu-daily:e rs1 2) Enter the container lxc shell rs1 3) Enable apparmor profile rm /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.rsyslogd apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.rsyslogd systemctl restart rsyslog 4) notice rsyslog failed to start systemctl status rsyslog Workaround: echo ' /usr/sbin/rsyslogd mr,' >> /etc/apparmor.d/local/usr.sbin.rsyslogd apparmor_parser -r -T -W /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.rsyslogd systemctl restart rsyslog Additional information: root@rs1:~# uname -a Linux rs1 4.15.0-48-generic #51-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 3 08:28:49 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@rs1:~# lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Eoan EANIMAL (development branch) Release: 19.10 root@rs1:~# dpkg -l| grep -wE 'apparmor|rsyslog' ii apparmor 2.13.2-9ubuntu6 amd64 user-space parser utility for AppArmor ii rsyslog 8.32.0-1ubuntu7 amd64 reliable system and kernel logging daemon ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.10 Package: rsyslog 8.32.0-1ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-48.51-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-48-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed May 1 17:36:29 2019 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: rsyslog UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1827253 Title: [apparmor] missing 'mr' on binary for usage on containers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1827253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
