About This Guide

Novell® AppArmor is designed to provide easy-to-use application security for both

servers and workstations. Novell AppArmor is an access control system that lets you

specify per program which les the program may read, write, and execute. AppArmor

secures applications by enforcing good application behavior without relying on attack

signatures, so can prevent attacks even if they are exploiting previously unknown vul-

nerabilities.

Novell AppArmor consists of:

• A library of AppArmor proles for common Linux* applications describing what

les the program needs to access.

• A library of AppArmor prole foundation classes (prole building blocks) needed

for common application activities, such as DNS lookup and user authentication.

• A tool suite for developing and enhancing AppArmor proles, so that you can

change the existing proles to suit your needs and create new proles for your own

local and custom applications.

• Several specially modied applications that are AppArmor enabled to provide en-

hanced security in the form of unique subprocess connement, including Apache

and Tomcat.

• The Novell AppArmor–loadable kernel module and associated control scripts to

enforce AppArmor policies on your openSUSE™ system.

This guide covers the following topics:

Immunizing Programs

Describes the operation of Novell AppArmor and describes the types of programs

that should have Novell AppArmor proles created for them.

Prole Components and Syntax

Introduces the prole components and syntax.

Building and Managing Proles With YaST

Describes how to use the AppArmor YaST modules to build, maintain and update

proles.

Building Proles via the Command Line

Describes how to use the AppArmor command line tools to build, maintain and

update proles.

Proling Your Web Applications Using ChangeHat

Enables you to create subproles for the Apache Web server that allow you to

tightly conne small sections of Web application processing.

Managing Proled Applications

Describes how to perform Novell AppArmor prole maintenance, which involves

tracking common issues and concerns.

About This Guide vii

Immunizing Programs

Novell® AppArmor provides immunization technologies that protect applications from

the inherent vulnerabilities they possess. After installing Novell AppArmor, setting up

Novell AppArmor proles, and rebooting the computer, your system becomes immu-

nized because it begins to enforce the Novell AppArmor security policies. Protecting

programs with Novell AppArmor is referred to as immunizing.

Novell AppArmor sets up a collection of default application proles to protect standard

Linux services. In order to protect other applications, use the Novell AppArmor tools

to create proles for the applications that you want protected. This chapter introduces

the philosophy of immunizing programs. Proceed to Chapter 2, Prole Components

and Syntax (page 19), Chapter 3, Building and Managing Proles With YaST (page 23),

or Chapter 4, Building Proles via the Command Line (page 45) if you are ready to

build and manage Novell AppArmor proles.

Novell AppArmor provides streamlined access control for network services by specifying

which les each program is allowed to read, write, and execute. This ensures that each

program does what it is supposed to do and nothing else. Novell AppArmor quarantines

programs to protect the rest of the system from being damaged by a compromised

process.

Novell AppArmor is a host intrusion prevention, or mandatory access control scheme.

Previously, access control schemes were centered around users because they were built

for large timeshare systems. Alternatively, modern network servers largely do not permit

users to log in, but instead provide a variety of network services for users, such as Web,

mail, le, and print. Novell AppArmor controls the access given to network services

and other programs to prevent weaknesses from being exploited.

TIP: Background Information for Novell AppArmor

To get a more in-depth overview of AppArmor and the overall concept behind

it, refer to Appendix A, Background Information on AppArmor Proling

(page 119).

1.1 Introducing the AppArmor

Framework

The following section provides you with a very basic understanding of what is happening

“behind the scenes” (and under the hood of the YaST interface) when you run App-

Armor.

An AppArmor prole is a plain text le containing path entries and access permissions,

see Section 2.1, “Breaking a Novell AppArmor Prole into Its Parts” (page 19) for a

detailed reference prole. The directives contained in this text le are then enforced

by the AppArmor routines to quarantine the process/program.

The following tools interact in the building and enforcement of AppArmor proles and

policies:

aa-unconned

aa-unconned detects any application running on your system that listens for net-

work connections and is not protected by an AppArmor prole. Refer to Section

“aa-unconned—Identifying Unprotected Processes” (page 67) for detailed infor-

mation on this tool.

aa-autodep

aa-autodep creates a basic skeleton of a prole that needs to be eshed out before

it is put to productive use. The resulting prole is loaded and put into complain

mode, reporting any behavior of the application that is not (yet) covered by App-

Armor rules. Refer to Section “aa-autodep—Creating Approximate Proles”

(page 52) for detailed information on this tool.

aa-genprof

aa-genprof generates a basic prole and asks you to rene this prole by executing

the application and thus generating log events that need to be taken care of by
