Seth is correct,

when a message is sent across a unix based file socket their is a cross
check (one check for the sender, and another for the receiver). In this
case the receiving end of the message (rsyslogd) does not have the
correct permission (r perm).

The reason this is reported with the pid and comm of other processes is
that the check (for both sender and receiver) is done in the kernel
context of the sending process.

Bug description:
  Hi.

  I've noticed that apparmor loads /usr/sbin/rsyslogd profile for
  completely unrelated processes:

  Feb 25 08:36:19 emma kernel: [  134.796218] audit: type=1400 audit(1424842579.429:245): apparmor="DENIED" operation="sendmsg" profile="/usr/sbin/rsyslogd" name="/dev/log" pid=4002 comm="sshd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

  Feb 25 08:34:43 emma kernel: [   38.867998] audit: type=1400 audit(1424842483.546:226): apparmor="DENIED" operation="sendmsg" profile="/usr/sbin/rsyslogd" name="/dev/log" pid=3762 comm="ntpd" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=0 ouid=0

  
  I'm not sure how apparmor decides which profile to use for which task, but is shouldn't load '/usr/sbin/rsyslogd' profile for sshd/ntpd/etc.
