[Bug 430566] Re: firefox binary file name making apparmor ineffective

[Jamie Strandboge]

Thank you for using Ubuntu and taking the time to report a bug.

You are quite correct in your assessment, and the flaw is in AppArmor
itself. The Ubuntu development release (Karmic) has fixes to make binary
filename globbing work, though I think you should be able to get this to
work in Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) if you specify the filename like so:

/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.*/firefox {
  ...
}

In fact, firefox-3.5 (the default in Karmic) now has an opt-in profile
that you can use that takes advantage of this. As such, I am going to
mark this as 'Fix Released'.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** Package changed: firefox-3.0 (Ubuntu) => apparmor (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: apparmor (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Fix Released
