Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7035-1

apparmor vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

AppArmor restrictions could be bypassed for rules allowing mount
operations

Software Description:
- apparmor: Linux security system

Details:

It was discovered that the AppArmor policy compiler incorrectly generated
looser restrictions than expected for rules allowing mount operations. A
local attacker could possibly use this to bypass AppArmor restrictions in
applications where some mount operations were permitted.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
   apparmor                        3.0.4-2ubuntu2.4

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
   apparmor                        2.13.3-7ubuntu5.4

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
After this update, applications confined by policies with mount operations
restrictions may need to have the rules updated.
