Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: apparmor
My cups-pdf cannot print to my ~/PDF if apparmor is active. Doing "service
apparmor stop"
allows printing-to-PDF to happen.
I suspect this is because my /home/username is a symlink to
/warehouse/home/username.
(My laptop's /warehouse is a separate partition). Whether this is caused
because I have
a symlink in the path, or because there is a file-system-boundary traversal by
the
symlink, I don't know.
I found that adding two lines to /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd solved
the problem:
/warehouse/home/shuvam/PDF/ rw,
/warehouse/home/shuvam/PDF/* rw,
@{HOME}/PDF/ rw,
@{HOME}/PDF/* rw,
The two @{HOME} lines were already present --- I just added the
/warehouse/home/...
lines. It is therefore clear that something additional needs to be done about
apparmor
configuration for cups-pdf if there is a symlink or a file-system-traversal in
the path
of the ~/PDF.
I don't know whether this is an apparmor bug or a cups-pdf bug.
