Introduction to Novell
AppArmor
Novell® AppArmor Powered by Immunix is designed to provide easy-to-use application
security for both servers and workstations. Novell AppArmor is an access control system
that lets you specify per program which les the program may read, write, and execute.
AppArmor secures applications by enforcing good application behavior without relying
on attack signatures, so can prevent attacks even if they are exploiting previously un-
known vulnerabilities.
Novell AppArmor consists of:
• A library of AppArmor proles for common Linux* applications describing what
les the program needs to access.
• A library of AppArmor prole foundation classes (prole building blocks) needed
for common application activities, such as DNS lookup and user authentication.
• A tool suite for developing and enhancing AppArmor proles, so that you can
change the existing proles to suit your needs and create new proles for your own
local and custom applications.
• Several specially modied applications that are AppArmor enabled to provide en-
hanced security in the form of unique subprocess connement, including Apache.
• The Novell AppArmor–loadable kernel module and associated control scripts to
enforce AppArmor policies on your SUSE® Linux system.
NOTE
Some distributions of SUSE Linux include a version of AppArmor that enforce
policies for a limited set of programs. These policies can be modied to suit
your particular environment using the included AppArmor tool set. To create
AppArmor proles for additional programs, an upgrade to the full version of
AppArmor is required.
