[Bug 1381713] Re: Support policy query interface for file

 

Re: your symlink question. AppArmor is returning permissions regarding
reading the symlink it self, which is a precursor to traversing the
symlink to the file it is pointing at.

Bug description:
  This bug tracks the work needed to support querying if a label can
  access a file. This is particularly useful with trusted helpers where
  an application requests access to a file and the trusted helper does
  something with it. For example, on Ubuntu when an app wants to play a
  music file, it (eventually) goes through the media-hub service. The
  media-hub service should be able to query if the app's policy has
  access to the file.
