Title:
  apparmor profile for sbin.dhclient3 not compatible with wicd

Status in “isc-dhcp” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “isc-dhcp” source package in Oneiric:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  SRU:

  [Impact]
  Extends apparmor profile to work with wicd. There are quite a few users that depend on wicd so impact is proportionate to those affected.

  [Test Case]
  Binary package hint: wicd

  I set some options for dhclient3 in /etc/wicd/dhclient.conf.template
  and noticed they were not being used. Some further searching showed me
  the following syslog entry:

  Jun  2 10:09:44 machiavelli kernel: [107612.391626] type=1503
  audit(1275466184.529:22):  operation="open" pid=28884 parent=28838
  profile="/sbin/dhclient3" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::"
  fsuid=0 ouid=0 name="/var/lib/wicd/dhclient.conf"

  Editing /etc/apparmor.d/sbin.dhclient3 with an entry:

    # wicd
    /var/lib/wicd/* r,

  (and reloading apparmor) fixed the problem.

  [Regression Potential]
  The regression potential should be minimal as this extends apparmor to allow read access into /var/lib/wicd via dhclient
