Title: [FFe] apparmor 3 upstream release Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As per the draft upstream release notes[1]: AppArmor 3.0 is a major new release of the AppArmor user space that makes an important change to policy development and support. Its focus is transitioning policy to the new features ABI and as such other new features have been limited. Apprmor 3.0 is a bridge release between older AppArmor 2.x policy and the newer AppArmor 3 style policy which requires the declaration of a features abi. As such AppArmor 3.0 will be a short lived release, and will not receive long term support. The following AppArmor 3.1 feature release is planned to be a regular release, please take this into account when including AppArmor 3.0 into a distro release. As such, Ubuntu 20.10 provides a great opportunity to introduce AppArmor3 to Ubuntu and provide these new capabilities to users and system administrators. The short support lifespan of Ubuntu 20.10 ensures that there is alignment with the limited support lifetime of AppArmor 3.0 from upstream, whilst giving good exposure and opportunity to test and exercise the new features in AppArmor 3.x on the road to Ubuntu 22.04. A highlight of new features provided by AppArmor 3.0 include: - Policy now must declare the feature abi it was developed for if it is to use any new features. This ensures that old policy will not become incompatible with new kernels that support additional AppArmor features. - The use of profile names that are based on pathnames are deprecated. - Support for new kernel features (requires appropriate features abi tagging in policy) - upstream v8 network socket rules - xattr attachment conditionals - capabilities PERFMON and BPF - Improved compiler warnings and semantic checks - aa-status rewritten in C (previously was python) with additional features - supports use in systems/images where python is not available - supports kill, unconfined and mixed profile modes - Rewritten aa-notify (previously was perl, now python3) - shared backend with other python tools - support use of aa.CONFDIR instead of hard coded /etc/apparmor - improved message layout - Improved support for kernels that support LSM stacking - New utility aa-features-abi to extract and work with kernel abi features - New utility aa-load to load binary policy without calling the apparmor_parser - Support for profile modes - enforce (default when no mode flag is supplied) - kill (experimental) - unconfined (experimental) The use of the new AppArmor profile feature ABI includes a default configuration (for the Ubuntu packaged version of AppArmor proposed in this FFE) for the AppArmor features within the 5.4 Linux kernel - this ensures that all profiles provided in AppArmor3 for groovy will conform to this feature set and that upgrades to the kernel version (say to 5.8) that may include newer AppArmor confinement features will not result in additional policy denials as a result (since say the existing profile did not specify a rule for a new AppArmor feature which is now supported by the upgraded kernel). This ensures that there will be no regressions in application behaviour as a result of AppArmor kernel feature upgrades. TESTING This has been extensively tested by the security team - this includes following the documented Ubuntu merges test plan[2] for AppArmor and the extensive QA Regression Tests[3] for AppArmor as well. This ensures that the various applications that make heavy use of AppArmor (LXD, docker, lxc, dbus, libvirt, snapd etc) have all been exercised and no regressions have been observed. All tests have passed and demonstrated both apparmor and the various applications that use it to be working as expected.
