[Bug 2121132] [NEW] tshark apparmor permissions are too restrictive

 

Public bug reported:

Currently, if I try to execute tshark with the -w parameter, it can't
write the file, because of too restrictive app armor permissions.

A workaround is to add to /etc/apparmor.d/local/tshark:

```
file rw /**.pcap{,ng}{,.gz},
owner rw /**.pcap{,ng}{,.gz},
```

I think this should be the default.

Description:    Ubuntu 25.04
Release:        25.04

** Affects: wireshark (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: gnome-remote-desktop (Ubuntu) => wireshark (Ubuntu)
