[PATCH] apparmor: allow to call vhost-user-gpu
Posted by Christian Ehrhardt 5 years, 12 months ago 
Configuring vhost-user-gpu like:
    <video>
      <driver name='vhostuser'/>
      <model type='virtio' heads='1'/>
    </video>
Triggers an apparmor denial like:
    apparmor="DENIED" operation="exec" profile="libvirtd"
    name="/usr/lib/qemu/vhost-user-gpu" pid=888257 comm="libvirtd"
    requested_mask="x" denied_mask="x" fsuid=0 ouid=0

This helper is provided by qemu for vhost-user-gpu and thereby being
in the same path as qemu_bridge_helper. Due to that adding a rule allowing
to call uses the same path list.

Does the vhost-usr-gpu helper need a profile to restrict its access, similar to 
the bridge helper?

Hi Jim,
Yes - we can later on add one, as soon as someone did the work to trace all
the things that will be needed.
I had no full setup - and I'm not sure about the multitude of potential
configurations - so I didn't go that far.
I didn't have that yet, but if anyone has please just add a follow on patch.

The P in PUx allows that someone defines an external profile to guard it -
and it would be used, but without one existing the U allows it to fall back
to unconfined.
If/Once we add an internal profile like we do for bridge helper P can be
changed to C, but as I said I have no useful profile and no full setup to
test&train one at the moment.

Nod. That's reasonable behavior in the absence of an internal profile.

With a bit of searching I could probably find a setup, but getting access is 
another thing. In the meantime your patch is a fine alternative IMO
