Title:
Is append mode useful?
Status in AppArmor:
New
Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I think the 'a' append mode may not be useful.
Including 'a' in a profile is insufficient for writing to the file, at
least on 3.13.0-77-generic.
Here's a sample profile:
#include <tunables/global>
/home/sarnold/demos/append flags=(complain) {
#include <abstractions/base>
/home/sarnold/demos/append mr,
/home/sarnold/demos/testing a,
}
And I'll attach a sample program shortly.
When using O_APPEND | O_WRONLY:
If the file exists, denied_mask="w"
If the file doesn't exist, open() fails, no AA involvement
When using O_APPEND | O_WRONLY | O_CREAT:
No change when the file does or doesn't exist: denied_mask="c",
denied_mask="w"
(When using enforce mode instead of complain mode, only
denied_mask="c" gets logged; the open(2) fails and the write(2) is
never called.)
$ rm testing
rm: cannot remove ‘testing’: No such file or directory
$ ./append append wronly ; ls -l testing
open: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access testing: No such file or directory
$ ./append append wronly creat ; ls -l testing
open: Permission denied
ls: cannot access testing: No such file or directory
$ ./append append rdwr ; ls -l testing
open: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access testing: No such file or directory
$ ./append append rdwr creat ; ls -l testing
open: Permission denied
ls: cannot access testing: No such file or directory
Thanks
