I'm trying to use AppArmor on a remote hosted Xen server with a custom built kernel.

AppArmor appears to be running, but not correctly. For example if I run the following command as root:

# aa-status
apparmor module is loaded.
You do not have enough privilege to read the profile set.

Any ideas what's going on would be helpful. Thank you!

Here's my kernel options:

# grep -i APPARMOR /boot/config-3.6.11-xen 
CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y
CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1
CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y
CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY="apparmor"

dmesg showing AppArmor started:

# dmesg | grep AppArmor
AppArmor: AppArmor initialized
AppArmor: AppArmor Filesystem Enabled

AppArmor hooks in /sys and their corresponding values:

(Note: no /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles)

# for x in $(find /sys -type f | grep apparmor) ; do echo -n "$x - "; cat $x ; done
/sys/kernel/security/apparmor/features/rlimit/mask - cpu fsize data stack core rss nproc nofile memlock as locks sigpending msgqueue nice rtprio rttime

/sys/module/apparmor/parameters/logsyscall - N
/sys/module/apparmor/parameters/lock_policy - N
/sys/module/apparmor/parameters/audit_header - Y

The user-land packages I have installed:

# dpkg -l apparmor*
Version                                         Description

ii  apparmor-utils                                  2.7.102-0ubuntu3.7                              Utilities for controlling AppArmor

Again, if anyone has any idea why it's not operating correctly, including user-error, let me know. As far as I can see it looks like it should be working.

Thanks again for any guidance.

I had the same problem ;)

  • Just download a apparmor package from: http://launchpad.net/apparmor/2.7/2.7.2/+download/apparmor-2.7.2.tar.gz

  • navigate to: /apparmor-2.7.2/kernel-patches/3.1 < Here you have a patches for the kernel. Don't worry - they are working with 3.2.x version ;)

  • patch the kernel, select the option "Enable AppArmor 2.4 compatability" (eg. from make nconfig/make menuconfig).

  • Compile and be happy with fully working apparmor

Hope it helps!

PS. Sorry for my lame english - It's not my primary language :)
