Ensure AppArmor is installed

apparmor-installed · UBUNTU ≥ 22 · 1 impl

Description

The apparmor package provides the AppArmor mandatory access control framework, which confines programs to a limited set of resources on Ubuntu systems.

Rationale

AppArmor enforces mandatory access control policies that limit the damage a compromised process can do. Without it installed, application confinement cannot be applied.
