Public bug reported: If your kernel.pid_max sysctl is set higher than the default, say at 7 digits, the @{pid} variable no longer matches all pids, causing some breakage in any profile using it.
@{pid} is defined in /etc/apparmor.d/tunables: @{pid}={[1-9],[1-9][0-9],[1-9][0-9][0-9],[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9],[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9],[1-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]} It only covers up to 6 digits. This Ubuntu 17.04 system has: kernel.pid_max = 4194303 And is showing type=1400 audit(1505588857.828:792): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="libvirt-55e9e12c-e6dc-4f56-a547-8514cf7d9bf3" name="/proc/2168180/task/2769256/comm" pid=2168180 comm="qemu-system-x86" requested_mask="wr" denied_mask="wr" fsuid=111 ouid=111 Which should be matched by @{PROC}/sys/vm/overcommit_memory r, in /etc/apparmor.d/abstractions/libvirt-qemu I'm seeing similar failures on 16.04 (2.10.95-0ubuntu2.7), 17.04 (2.11.0-2ubuntu4) and 17.10 (2.11.0-2ubuntu17) I am aware this is a non-default configuration, but I think this should work. ** Affects: apparmor (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1717714 Title: @{pid} variable broken on systems with pid_max more than 6 digits To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1717714/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
