Bug Description

Confined applications have too much control over executables due to a lack of environment filtering in AppArmor. Bug #851986 is one such example. While we have employed the sanitized_helper to help, it should not be considered the final solution as it causes usability issues and is limited in what it can achieve. This bug is to track the environment filtering work.

This bug is rather old. Is there a progress in this? Is it relevant on latest AppArmor?

I suspect nearly no progress has been made as there are higher-priority tasks that need doing.

This is still a desired feature and is unlikely to be forgotten though it may be ages before it becomes the top priority.

Thanks
