Public bug reported:
I recently noticed a bunch of containers failing in a rather odd way
when running postfix.
The most visible example is when running mailq on an empty queue.
Without apparmor (unconfined container) I see that the queue is empty,
with apparmor, I get Permission denied.
That's all running as root so the permission denied looks a tiny bit
odd. Also, running the 3.13 kernel, I don't get any of that weirdness.
My guess is that it has to do with the work that went into the 3.16
kernel for socket mediation. In theory only systems that run the utopic
apparmor (which I DO NOT) should be seeing that kind of behavior, but it
looks like some code path isn't checking things properly :)

Kernel is a slightly outdated version of the kernel from the kernel team PPA:
Linux shell01 3.16.0-23-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Thu Oct 23 20:13:35 UTC 2014
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
If you think the latest build will improve this, I can test it, but
seeing how this is a production server, I can't just flip kernels every
5 minutes (I'm running 3.16 to avoid a nasty btrfs bug on 3.13).
