Title:
  aa-logprof:  Log contains unknown mode senw

Status in AppArmor Linux application security framework:
  Fix Committed
Status in “apparmor” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  * aa-logprof does not work when dbus rule denials are present in the
  logs

  [Automated Test Case]

  * test_lp1243932_send, test_lp1243932_receive, and test_lp1243932_bind
  have been added to QRT's test-apparmor.py test script

  [Manual Test Case]

  * Load a profile that does not grant D-Bus access and create a D-Bus denial. Then,
    test aa-logprof.

    $ echo "profile lp1243932 { file, }" | sudo apparmor_parser -rq
    $ aa-exec -p lp1243932 -- dbus-send --print-reply --system \
    --dest=org.freedesktop.DBus /org/freedesktop/DBus org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
    Failed to open connection to "system" message bus: An AppArmor policy prevents this
    sender from sending this message to this recipient, 0 matched rules;
    type="method_call", sender="(null)" (inactive) interface="org.freedesktop.DBus"
    member="Hello" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0"
    destination="org.freedesktop.DBus" (bus)
    $ aa-logprof -f /dev/null
    Reading log entries from /dev/null.
    Updating AppArmor profiles in /etc/apparmor.d.

  An unpatched aa-logprof will print similar output followed by:

    Log contains unknown mode senw.

  [Regression Potential]

  * The regression potential is low since aa-logprof currently refuses to work when D-Bus
    denials are present. The fix is minimal and has been reviewed by upstream.

  [Original Bug Report]

  since saucy aa-logprof does not work anymore:

  $ aa-logprof
  Reading log entries from /var/log/syslog.
  Updating AppArmor profiles in /etc/apparmor.d.

  Log contains unknown mode senw.

  the issues seem to be caused by dbus send denies:

  Oct 23 19:52:56 ubuntu dbus[2594]: apparmor="DENIED"
  operation="dbus_method_call"  bus="session"
  path="/org/freedesktop/DBus" interface="org.freedesktop.DBus"
  member="Hello" mask="send" name="org.freedesktop.DBus" pid=3552
  profile="/usr/bin/smuxi-frontend-gnome" peer_profile="unconfined"

  23:16 <tyhicks> my guess is the denial of a dbus send
  23:16 <tyhicks> senw is awful close to send
  23:17 <tyhicks> parse_event() in AppArmor.pm does this:
  23:18 <tyhicks> $rmask =~ s/d/w/g;
  23:18 <tyhicks> followed by:
  23:18 <tyhicks> fatal_error(sprintf(gettext('Log contains unknown mode %s.'), $rmask));
