Description

As a security improvement, this update adjusts the AppArmor profile for the Evince thumbnailer to reduce access to the system and adjusts the AppArmor profile for Evince and Evince previewer to limit access to the DBus system bus. Additionally adjust the evince abstraction to disallow writes on parent directories of sensitive files.

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
