From 25e75dff519bcce2cb35023105e7df51d7b9e691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Johansen Date: Sat, 25 Jun 2011 16:57:07 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] AppArmor: Fix masking of capabilities in complain mode AppArmor is masking the capabilities returned by capget against the capabilities mask in the profile. This is wrong, in complain mode the profile has effectively all capabilities, as the profile restrictions are not being enforced, merely tested against to determine if an access is known by the profile. This can result in the wrong behavior of security conscience applications like sshd which examine their capability set, and change their behavior accordingly. In this case because of the masked capability set being returned sshd fails due to DAC checks, even when the profile is in complain mode. Kernels affected: 2.6.36 - 3.0.
