Public bug reported:

[ Impact ]

The unprivileged_userns profile did not grant access to the root
directory, which was an oversight in a profile that is intended to allow
almost all accesses except for capabilities usage. This would e.g. break
listing of the root directory contents from a user namespace.

[ Test Plan ]

After installation of the new AppArmor version:
 * Ensure that the sysctl kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_unconfined is 
set to 1
 * Run unshare -U ls / and verify that it lists the directory successfully 
without creating an AppArmor denial log

[ Where problems could occur ]

Changing the rule to allow access to the root directory is loosening
confinement on the profile. However, if a user manually modified the
installed profiles, then the package upgrade would cause conflicts, and
rejection of the incoming changes (either by hand during an interactive
upgrade or automatically during an batch unattended upgrade) would
result in end users not getting this fix.
