Title:
  aa-logprof is trying to process a binary instead of the profile
  attached to the binary

Status in apparmor package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in apparmor source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [impact]

  This bug makes it difficult for trusty users to use the apparmor policy
  utilities.

  [steps to reproduce]

  See below

  [regression potential]

  This issue is being addressed by updating the python utilities to the
  version in apparmor 2.9.2 as tracked in bug 1449769. This represents are
  large change which would normally be risky; however, these changes are
  isolated to the python utils (so no changes to the policy parser/loader
  or enforcement), there are a large number of bugs that exist in the
  trusty version that make using the tools difficult, so it would be
  difficult to regress further, and the updated version includes many new
  unit tests to try to prevent from regressions from occurring.

  [additional info]

  The python utils testsuite is run as part of the test-apparmor.py test
  script in lp:qa-regression-testing. The test-apparmor.py also has
  additional basic usage tests to ensure that basic functionality is
  maintained. These tests are run as part of the process fro each kernel
  update.

  [original description]

  I am trying to profile apache2 with aa-logprof. As part of that I ran
  into the following problem

  root@tim-X220:~# aa-logprof -m LOGMARK1
  Reading log entries from /var/log/syslog.
  Updating AppArmor profiles in /etc/apparmor.d.
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/sbin/aa-logprof", line 52, in <module>
      apparmor.do_logprof_pass(logmark)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apparmor/aa.py", line 2262, in do_logprof_pass
      handle_children('', '', root)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apparmor/aa.py", line 1237, in handle_children
      sev_db.load_variables(profile)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apparmor/severity.py", line 180, in load_variables
      for line in f_in:
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 704, in __next__
      return next(self.reader)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 635, in __next__
      line = self.readline()
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 548, in readline
      data = self.read(readsize, firstline=True)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 494, in read
      newchars, decodedbytes = self.decode(data, self.errors)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc6 in position 24: invalid continuation byte

  When I trace back I find that on line 1237 the path to binary is
  passed to "load_variables" when it expects the path to the profile
  related to a binary. As a result it opens the binary and tries to
  process it as a profile. I suspect this but will appear as a range of
  Unicode style errors depending on what executable is being passed.

  The fix is fairly simple. On line 1237 change
     sev_db.load_variables(profile)
  to
    sev_db.load_variables(get_profile_filename(profile))

  Attached is a patch for this.
