Hello Ryan, or anyone else affected,

Accepted apparmor into plucky-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/4.1.0~beta5-0ubuntu14.1 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
plucky to verification-done-plucky. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-plucky. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Title:
  apparmor parser incorrectly treats norelatime mount flag as a no-op

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apparmor source package in Plucky:
  Fix Committed
Status in apparmor source package in Questing:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  The parser did not handle the norelatime mount flag correctly,
  essentially treating its addition to a list of mount flags as a no-op.
  A test should also be included to ensure that the behavior is fixed
  and not broken again.

  [ Test Plan ]

  This bug is caught by an addition to AppArmor's regression test suite,
  which is also invoked via its QRT test suite via
  `ApparmorTestsuites.test_regression_testsuite`.

   * To prepare the QRT test suite (can be done on any machine):
     - `git clone https://git.launchpad.net/qa-regression-testing`
     - `./scripts/make-test-tarball ./scripts/test-apparmor.py`
   * To run the QRT test suite:
     - Copy the tarball onto the machine with the new AppArmor installed and 
extract it
     - `sudo ./install-packages test-apparmor.py`
     - Reboot the machine
     - `sudo ./test-apparmor.py -v`

  Unfortunately, the regression testsuite itself has no way of printing
  the full list of tests it successfully executed. Below are
  instructions for running the regression test suite by hand, including
  the modified mount test:

   * `apt install dpkg-dev pkg-config libapparmor-dev`
   * `apt-get source apparmor`
   * Verify that the downloaded version is 4.1.0~beta5-0ubuntu14.1 or greater
   * Verify that patch 
debian/patches/ubuntu/regression-verify-documented-mount-flag-behavior.patch 
was applied upon download
   * cd [source]/tests/regression/apparmor
   * Ensure that all the parent directories of the regression test folder are 
world-readable and world-executable, and 'chmod o+rx' any that are not
   * USE_SYSTEM=1 make -j[num]
   * If running the whole regression testsuite, the `make` command might print 
out warnings about skipped tests due to missing packages. Install any packages 
that it says are missing
   * If running the whole regression testsuite, 'sudo USE_SYSTEM=1 make tests'
   * If running just the mount tests, 'sudo USE_SYSTEM=1 bash mount.sh' and 
manually 'echo $?' afterwards to check that it exited with a status of 0 

  [ Where problems could occur ]

  This parser fix changes the behavior of mount rules that explicitly
  specify the norelatime flag. In particular, a custom profile
  containing `mount options in (norelatime)` will have different, more
  permissive behavior than before (reducing regression risk as compared
  to tightening behavior). However, this flag is not used in any of the
  commonly used profiles (including the ones in our repo and the profile
  fragments used by snapd), so this will not change the behavior of
  existing packaged profiles being used.
