Worked on the canonical/snapd repository to enhance AppArmor path policy for coreutils, supporting both GNU and uutils-coreutils installations across distributions. Addressed portability by introducing the SNAP_COREUTIL_DIRS variable, replacing hardcoded paths in policy templates, and handling chroot edge-cases to reduce misconfiguration risks. Improved security by removing an unnecessary AppArmor permission for the tr command in the snap-confine profile, anticipating future directory changes. Expanded and updated core26 tests to validate policy coverage for various coreutils setups. Documented the rationale behind these changes, focusing on maintainability. Utilized skills in AppArmor, Shell scripting, and YAML for robust system configuration.

Oct 1, 2025Month 2025-10: Implemented cross-distro AppArmor path policy improvements for coreutils in snapd to support both GNU and uutils-coreutils installations. Key changes include replacing hardcoded /bin paths with SNAP_COREUTIL_DIRS in interfaces and policy templates, handling chroot edge-cases, and documenting rationale for the new variable. Added core26 tests to validate path allowances and expanded coverage for variations. Removed an unnecessary AppArmor permission for tr in snap-confine to tighten policy ahead of future coreutil directory changes. Results: improved security, portability, and stability of snaps across distributions, reduced risk of policy misconfigurations, and smoother upgrade/packaging cycles.
