[New: openFATE 316815] AppArmor profile for Skype
Feature added by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Feature #316815, revision 1 Title: AppArmor profile for Skype openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Tristan Miller (psych0naut) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Skype is probably the most popular VOIP and videoconferencing software. Unfortunately, it is proprietary, and is known to violate users' privacy -- AppArmor reports it touching all sorts of files it has no business reading, such as files in the user's Firefox or SeaMonkey profile directories. Please consider producing and maintaining an AppArmor profile for Skype in the openSUSE distribution. User-contributed profiles such as the ones in the wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Skype#Privacy_and_security) become nonfunctional with new Skype releases. It's not trivial to produce working AppArmor profiles for Skype (I wasn't able to do it myself after an hour or so or trying) but perhaps some knowledgeable openSUSE security developer could apply her expertise to creating an officially supported profile. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316815

I'm not sure if one of the upstream + developers uses skype, but we should be able to help you to create the + profile. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/316815
