AppArmor, a Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system that is a kernel (LSM) enhancement to confine programs to a limited set of resources, is now at version 2.8.2.

AppArmor 2.8.2 protects the operating system and applications from external or internal threats and all form of attacks by preventing unknown application flaws from being exploited.

Highlights of AppArmor 2.8.2:

• A display bug in aa-logprof, aa-genprof, with the Glob and Glob with Ext putting duplicate entries in the list, has been fixed; • A potential NULL-write in aa_getprocattr() error path has been corrected; • Various python3 compability changes have been implemented; • Read access to @{PROC}/sys/vm/overcommit_memory has been added to abstractions/base; • A fix for cache failures, when the feature file is larger than the internal buffer, has been implemented.

A complete list of changes can be found in the official announcement. Download AppArmor 2.8.2 right now from Softpedia.
