So, yah. I'm getting this error. But I'm on 14.04 LTS. It's still running the malfunctioning Apparmor 2.8.95~2430. It seems then that fix 2.8.96~2541 was never issued.
Apparmor seems impotent. It seems as though it is impossible to configure, impossible to use Apparmor to secure a machine running Ubuntu 14.04. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS must therefore be inherently insecure. Otherwise Apparmor wouldn't be necessary in the first place. Ubuntu Trusty can't be trusted. Ha ha. The Ubuntu download page says: "Ubuntu 14.04.2 LTS comes with five years of security and maintenance updates, guaranteed." Is that, like, sales twaddle? Do you remember the days when the Linux crowd used to jeer endlessly at Microsoft security flaws: "Meh, Microsoft is like sooo rubbish and Linux is sooo superior blah blah twaddle". So this is now a year since "Trusty" was released, and eight months since the Apparmor bugfix was released. And users are still wasting time trying to get Apparmor to work, wasting time reporting the bug. How much time do linux users waste reporting bugs that have already been fixed but haven't been implemented? You can wave goodbye to a day going through the process of trying to learn how to use some arcane linux package, discover it doesn't work, report the bug, and it all be an utter waste of time because nobody is listening. You can wave goodbye to hours just getting to grip with and reporting a bug. It happens all the time. Linux users must be [insert censored word here] because they have nothing else to do with their free time but wrestle with malfunctioning software and report bugs. They have no lives. What's worse their efforts are utterly futile. They are [insert censored word here]. If the Apparmor fix isn't being added to Ubuntu 14.04, then why not disable Apparmor in the release so people don't waste time trying to get it to work? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1319829 Title: aa-genprof will crash when select scan on Ubuntu 14.04 server Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework: Fix Released Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in apparmor source package in Trusty: Confirmed Bug description: [impact] This bug makes it difficult for trusty users to use the apparmor policy utilities. [steps to reproduce] See below [regression potential] This issue is being addressed by updating the python utilities to the version in apparmor 2.9.2 as tracked in bug 1449769. This represents are large change which would normally be risky; however, these changes are isolated to the python utils (so no changes to the policy parser/loader or enforcement), there are a large number of bugs that exist in the trusty version that make using the tools difficult, so it would be difficult to regress further, and the updated version includes many new unit tests to try to prevent from regressions from occurring. [additional info] The python utils testsuite is run as part of the test-apparmor.py test script in lp:qa-regression-testing. The test-apparmor.py also has additional basic usage tests to ensure that basic functionality is maintained. These tests are run as part of the process fro each kernel update. [original description] Operating system : Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64 server Command used : sudo aa-genprof suricata I will be asked to scan or finish, I selected "scan". Then it crashes.
