2018-03-13 18:30:08 Ubuntu Kernel Bot linux (Ubuntu): status New Confirmed
2018-03-13 18:30:49 Zygmunt Krynicki description On my artful system running 4.13.0-36-generic I noticed that there are dangling symlinks for "raw_data", "raw_sha1" and "raw_abi" files in the sysfs path containing loaded apparmor profiles. Sample of profiles that had dangling symlinks: /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/profiles/snap.core.hook.configure.35/raw_data /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/profiles/snap.core.hook.configure.35/raw_abi /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/profiles/snap.core.hook.configure.35/raw_sha1 The following command can be used to find such files: find /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/policy/profiles -type l -exec sh -c "file -b {} | grep -q ^broken" \; -print It seems that neither xenial (4.4 kernel) nor bionic (4.15 kernel) is affected though I didn't perform an extensive investigation. I'm reporting this because according to the apaprmor developer it seems "racy" and should not happen. <jjohansen> zyga-ubuntu: no, there shouldn't be a way to remove profiles wrong, there is the potential for a race of sorts because the symlink doesn't have the same hard reference, but that isn't something you should be seeing <jjohansen> zyga-ubuntu: the raw_data file should not be going away as long as that profile directory exists It is likely that this problem occurs when snapd generates profiles for refreshed snaps or removes profiles for removed snaps but I was not able to determine that yet.
