Description of Changes
We were previously relying on the tor apparmor abstractions to provide
capability dac_override
. When the tor package removed the capability in favor ofdac_read_search
, the apache service startedfailing due to overconfinement. Editing the AppArmor profile for Apache such that the dac_override capability is now explicitly, rather than implicitly, included.
Fixes #2105.
Testing
Confirm both clean installs on staging and upgrades from 0.4.1 restore functionality for the web applications (both Source and Journalist Interfaces).
Deployment
Hotfix release to handle breaking changes from upstream tor package. Discussion of reducing exposure to this form of breakage is in #2106.
