The format value has to be a string literal, every time.
Otherwise, you are not using these functions correctly. To reinforce this fact, I putrestrict over every non-contrib example of this I could find.
sudoers now supports an APPARMOR_PROFILE option, which can be specified
as e.g.
alice ALL=(ALL:ALL) APPARMOR_PROFILE=foo ALL
The line above says "user alice can run any command as any user/group,
under confinement by the AppArmor profile 'foo'." Profiles can be
specified in any way that complies with the rules of
aa_change_profile(2). For instance, the sudoers configuration
alice ALL=(ALL:ALL) APPARMOR_PROFILE=unconfined ALL
allows alice to run any command unconfined (i.e., without an AppArmor
profile), while
alice ALL=(ALL:ALL) APPARMOR_PROFILE=foo//&bar ALL
tells sudoers that alice can run any command under the stacked AppArmor
profiles 'foo' and 'bar'.
The intention of this option is to give sysadmins on Linux distros
supporting AppArmor better options for fine-grained access control.
Among other things, this option can enforce mandatory access control
(MAC) over the operations that a privileged user is able to perform to
ensure that they cannot privesc past the boundaries of a specified
profile. It can also be used to limit which users are able to get
unconfined system access, by enforcing a default AppArmor profile on all
users and then specifying 'APPARMOR_PROFILE=unconfined' for a privileged
subset of users.
The warning that need_comma is always false is correct but in this
case it is better to use a consistent construct so that if the code
is re-ordered no bugs are introduced.
Previously, we checked that the previous entry's binding pointer
was not the same while freeing. However, to be able to merge
Defaults records we cannot rely on Defaults entries with the same
binding being immediately adjacent. This removes the prev_binding
checks in favor of a reference count which allows us to plug the
memory leak in cvtsudoers when merging Defaults.
For CSV output we double quotes strings that contain commas. For
each literal double quote character present inside the string, two
double quotes are output.
