Public bug reported: ## FFE ##
This is a Feature Freeze Exception request for questing for the apparmor package: I'd like to add a new package called apparmor.d which contains over 1500 profiles from the upstream project apparmor.d [1] These profiles will be added in "complain" mode, which means that for a given action, if the profile rules do not grant permission the action will be allowed, but the violation will be logged with a tag of the access being ALLOWED. This is done because we want to test these profiles and enable others to test and add new rules to eventually improve the profiles. By adding these profiles in a new package which is not installed by default, regular users will not be affected. But users that would like to test and contribute to the profiles can install it. We want to add these profiles, even in complain mode, as a new package (and not part of the apparmor package) because labeling certain binaries could cause issues with existing policy, specially those that use "peer". Additionally, the large amount of profiles do take a while to compile by the parser in the first boot. After that, a cached version of the profiles can be loaded directly into the kernel by the parser which takes considerably less time. Note again that apparmor.d will not be installed by default, so this will only affect users that choose to install it. The benefits of this change is the ability to increase the amount of testing for these profiles, which will then enable us to eventually ship them in enforce mode. More profiles means more confined applications, which could lead to higher security. This is the first step towards that. This is the PPA containing a built version of apparmor: #TODO This is the installation logs: #TODO For testing, I ran the QA Regression Tests [2]: Steps: $ git clone https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing $ ./scripts/make-test-tarball ./scripts/test-apparmor.py Copying: test-apparmor.py Copying: testlib.py Copying: install-packages Copying: packages-helper Copying: apparmor/ Test files: /tmp/qrt-test-apparmor.tar.gz To run, first install the apparmor.d package introduced in this FFE, then copy the tarball somewhere, then do: $ tar -zxf qrt-test-apparmor.tar.gz $ cd ./qrt-test-apparmor $ sudo ./install-packages test-apparmor.py $ ./test-apparmor.py -v This script runs various tests against the installed apparmor package The result was: FAILED: disconnected_mount_complain overlayfs_kernel socketpair make: *** [Makefile:487: alltests] Error 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 62 tests in 3903.620s FAILED (failures=1, skipped=4) Note that these failures are not related to the apparmor.d package and are also reproducible with apparmor version 5.0.0~alpha1-0ubuntu4 from the archive.
