apparmor.d

Full set of AppArmor profiles

Warning

This project is still in its early development. Help is very welcome; see the documentation website including its development section.

Description

AppArmor.d is a set of over 1500 AppArmor profiles whose aim is to confine most Linux based applications and processes.

Purpose

  • Confine all root processes such as all systemd tools, bluetooth, dbus, polkit, NetworkManager, OpenVPN, GDM, rtkit, colord
  • Confine all Desktop environments
  • Confine all user services such as Pipewire, Gvfsd, dbus, xdg, xwayland
  • Confine some "special" user applications: web browsers, file managers, etc
  • Should not break a normal usage of the confined software

Goals

This project is originally based on the work from Morfikov and aims to extend it to more Linux distributions and desktop environments.

Concepts

One profile a day keeps the hacker away

There are over 50000 Linux packages and even more applications. It is simply not possible to write an AppArmor profile for all of them. Therefore, a question arises:

What to confine and why?

We take inspiration from the Android/ChromeOS Security Model, and we apply it to the Linux world. Modern Linux security distributions usually consider an immutable core base image with a carefully selected set of applications. Everything else should be sandboxed. Therefore, this project tries to confine all the core applications you will usually find in a Linux system: all systemd services, xwayland, network, Bluetooth, your desktop environment... Non-core user applications are out of scope as they should be sandboxed using a dedicated tool (minijail, bubblewrap, toolbox...).

This is fundamentally different from how AppArmor is usually used on Linux servers as it is common to only confine the applications that face the internet and/or the users.
