Bug description:
QAudioRecoder needed the following rules:
owner /{run,dev}/shm/shmfd* rwk,
but then it was discovered that confined apps on utopic also need:
owner /{run,dev}/shm/shmfd* rwk,
The rules are this way because the shared memory files are not app
specific and is possible for one app to access another app's shared
memory file. Please update qtbase-opensource-src so the files are app-
specific to better isolation the apps (this is something we are doing
elsewhere).
Longer term we'd like to have shared memory file mediation in
AppArmor.
Original report:
I recently wrote a small application[1] to spot an ancient issue I had using QAudioRecorder on Ubuntu devices.
After I have installer gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio (otherwise "pulseaudio:" is not listed as available source), I tried to start a record through QAudioRecorder but it failed, giving me this output:
"shm_open() failed: Permission denied"
I've checked for some denials from apparmor (using 'dmesg | grep
DEN'), but none was found.
If I change the apparmor profile[2], so that my test application is
launched in a unconfined environment, QAudioRecorder works properly as
expected.
I run this test on my Nexus 5 (utopic-devel-proposed #185), but this
problem with shm happens also on i386 ubuntu-emulator (utopic-devel
#206).
