Package: torbrowser-launcher
Version: 0.3.2-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Once Tor Browser updated itself to Firefox ESR 68, next update will fail
with an AppArmor DENIED error for the updater executable.
Please note that this *does not* happen on update from previous ESR, but
once the latest ESR is installed and a new update is ready for install.
My guess with a quick glance on the AppArmor profile is that the updater
executable helper has been moved to a new position, just at the same place
where the main executable resides instead of some subdirectory.
With that guess I modified the AppArmor local profile which is attached
to this bug report, which also includes a local fix as suggested on bug
#942901.
Please note that my knowlegde of both AppArmor and Firefox internals is
very limited and my change, while allowing Tor Browser to update itself
and then run again, may not be the right solution wrt security.
