1.3.1.3 Ensure all AppArmor Profiles are in enforce or complain mode

Information

AppArmor profiles define what resources applications are able to access.

Security configuration requirements vary from site to site. Some sites may mandate a policy that is stricter than the default policy, which is perfectly acceptable. This item is intended to ensure that any policies that exist on the system are activated.

Solution

Run the following command to set all profiles to enforce mode:

# aa-enforce /etc/apparmor.d/*

OR

Run the following command to set all profiles to complain mode:

# aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/*

Note: Any unconfined processes may need to have a profile created or activated for them and then be restarted
