What it is

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: fix invalid deref of rawdata when export_binary is unset

If the export_binary parameter is disabled on runtime, profiles that

were loaded before that will still have their rawdata stored in

apparmorfs, with a symbolic link to the rawdata on the policy

directory. When one of those profiles are replaced, the rawdata is set

to NULL, but when trying to resolve the symbolic links to rawdata for

that profile, it will try to dereference profile->rawdata->name when

profile->rawdata is now NULL causing an oops. Fix it by checking if

rawdata is set.
