Any news on this? It has been open for over ten years now. AppArmor is on by default on Ubuntu, and if auditd is used, then the events are logged using it. Isn't it a security bug if the events don't show up when queried using ausearch?

Here's a quick test case to generate a denial, search for it with ausearch, and see that no messages are displayed: $ aa-exec -p /usr/sbin/tcpdump cat /proc/self/attr/current cat: /proc/self/attr/current: Permission denied $ sudo ausearch -m avc -c cat <no matches> ausearch claims that there are no matches, but there's a matching audit message if you look in audit.log: type=AVC msg=audit(1360193426.539:64): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=8253 profile="/usr/sbin/tcpdump" name="/proc/8485/attr/current" pid=8485 comm="cat" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+bug/1117804/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
