[Bug 1419294] [NEW] Apparmor chromium profile denies loading policies

 

Public bug reported:

Profiles in /etc/chromium-browser/policies/managed or /etc/chromium-
browser/policies/recommended are ignored when using the apparmor
profile.

Syslog excerpt:

Feb  7 17:10:11 ubuntu kernel: [23893.781721] audit: type=1400
audit(1423325411.004:109): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open"
profile="/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser" name="/etc
/chromium-browser/policies/managed/policy.json" pid=16928
comm="Chrome_FileThre" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=1000
ouid=0

How to test:

Create a file policy.json in /etc/chromium-browser/policies/managed
containing:

{
  "RestoreOnStartup": 1
}

start the browser and type in "about:policy". Normally you should see
the policy being listed there, which is currently not the case because
apparmor denies the reading the policy file.
