deny keywork not work on network rule

Indeed there is an auditing bug with network rules which prevents them from being quieted (the denial does actually happen). This has been fixed upstream, but needs to be backported for Ubuntu kernels.

HI, is this fixed kernel on xubuntu 13.04?
do you know which kernel version is fixed? 3.8+? or ?
my kernel is: Linux vm108 3.5.0-26-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 8 23:20:06 UTC 2013 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux
thank you.

It is not. The network patch is not in upstream Linux atm so to have network mediation you need to patch the upstream kernel with the patches from the apparmor upstream tree. 13.04 does not have the patch yet but I will submit it, and it should be fixed in 13.04 soon

Ok, thank you to submit the patch.

I added two line to aa-notify to silent the popup message (for inet6),
maybe someone want it too.

bug is in apparmor kernel module (linux) not in the userspace packages

Hi Tim, can you tell us, which verison linux-image is already fixed this bug?

after upgarde linux-image to linux-image-3.5.0-27-generic (3.5.0-27.46),
I still see those "inet6 apparmor message", when I type dmesg.
my system is Quantal (12.10/i686)
thank you.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed' to 'verification-done'.

If verification is not done by one week from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

After upgrade to "linux-image-3.5.0-28-generic (3.5.0-28.47)", this bug is fixed.
(deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-proposed restricted main multiverse universe)
uname: 3.5.0-28-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP
Thanks.

I can confirm this fixes the bug in lucid, precise and quantal.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
