What it is

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

apparmor: fix unconfined user namespace restriction forced stack

If a task is already confined by a stack the unprivileged transition

restriction on unconfined is not correctly, applied. This results in

an escape if two transitions through an unconfined profile can be

executed.

Fix this by pushing the check into the per profile label build. The

check will always be done against unconfined and result in a stack of

just the unconfined component when necessary.
