1 | --- What is AppArmor? --- | ||
2 | |||
3 | AppArmor is MAC style security extension for the Linux kernel. It implements | ||
4 | a task centered policy, with task "profiles" being created and loaded | ||
5 | from user space. Tasks on the system that do not have a profile defined for | ||
6 | them run in an unconfined state which is equivalent to standard Linux DAC | ||
7 | permissions. | ||
8 | |||
9 | --- How to enable/disable --- | ||
10 | |||
11 | set CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR=y | ||
12 | |||
13 | If AppArmor should be selected as the default security module then | ||
14 | set CONFIG_DEFAULT_SECURITY="apparmor" | ||
15 | and CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE=1 | ||
16 | |||
17 | Build the kernel | ||
18 | |||
19 | If AppArmor is not the default security module it can be enabled by passing | ||
20 | security=apparmor on the kernel's command line. | ||
21 | |||
22 | If AppArmor is the default security module it can be disabled by passing | ||
23 | apparmor=0, security=XXXX (where XXX is valid security module), on the | ||
24 | kernel's command line | ||
25 | |||
26 | For AppArmor to enforce any restrictions beyond standard Linux DAC permissions | ||
27 | policy must be loaded into the kernel from user space (see the Documentation | ||
28 | and tools links). | ||
