@Georgia, thanks for the work! Is anyone from the security team going to sponsor the apparmor updates for you?
Also in the evince debdiff, you added apparmor to the Build-Depends but is that needed? If the intend is to ensure a recent enough apparmor is available on the sytem then the Depends should be enough? Also evince didn't depends on apparmor before, it's probably fine to change that but I still want to raise the question. What would be the outcome of installing the new evince with an old apparmor? would the missing rules just be ignored or would they create issues? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1794064 Title: Clicking a hyperlink in a PDF fails to open it if the default browser is a snap Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in evince package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in evince package in Debian: New Bug description: [Impact] * Users cannot open a hyperlink in a PDF opened with evince when the default browser is a snap. * The fix creates a snap_browsers abstraction on AppArmor which can be used in a transition for when the browser is executed. The snap_browsers abstraction provides the minimal amount of permissions required to execute a browser provided through snaps. This is a workaround since AppArmor currently does not provide mediation/filtering on enhanced environment variables. [Test Plan] * Make sure the default browser is provided through the snap store. * Open a PDF that contains a hyperlink using evince and click on the URL. * The browser should open the requested URL. [Where problems could occur] * If the browser or snap core update to have new requirements for opening a browser, then the current policy could become obsolete and will need to be updated again.
