#CrackArmor: Multiple vulnerabilities in #AppArmor

Blogpost: https://blog.qualys.com/vulnerabilities-threat-research/2026/03/12/crackarmor-critical-apparmor-flaws-enable-local-privilege-escalation-to-root

Advisory: https://cdn2.qualys.com/advisory/2026/03/10/crack-armor.txt

These vulnerabilities allow a local attacker to bypass the security normally provided by AppArmor. Also, in some situations, it allows privilege escalation to root by selectively blocking specific syscalls.
