If a guest runs unconfined <seclabel type='none'>, but libvirtd is confined then the peer for signal/ptrace can only be detected as 'unconfined'. That triggers issues like: apparmor="DENIED" operation="signal" profile="/usr/sbin/libvirtd" pid=22395 comm="libvirtd" requested_mask="send" denied_mask="send" signal=term peer="unconfined" To fix this add unconfined as an allowed peer for those operations. I discussed with the apparmor folks, right now there is no better separation to be made in this case. But there might be further down the road with "policy namespaces with scope and view control + stacking" This is more a use-case addition than a fix to the following two changes: - 3b1d19e6 AppArmor: add rules needed with additional mediation features - b482925c apparmor: support ptrace checks Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt(a)canonical.com&gt; --- examples/apparmor/usr.sbin.libvirtd | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) diff --git a/examples/apparmor/usr.sbin.libvirtd b/examples/apparmor/usr.sbin.libvirtd index 8d61d15..23e8aa3 100644 --- a/examples/apparmor/usr.sbin.libvirtd +++ b/examples/apparmor/usr.sbin.libvirtd @@ -61,6 +61,10 @@ signal (send) peer=/usr/sbin/dnsmasq, signal (read, send) peer=libvirt-*, + # required if guests run unconfined seclabel type='none' but libvirtd is confined + signal (read, send) peer=unconfined, + ptrace (trace) peer=unconfined, + # Very lenient profile for libvirtd since we want to first focus on confining # the guests.
