AppArmor policy is not set to run in enforced mode
Description
AppArmor ("Application Armor") is a Linux kernel security module that allows the system administrator to restrict programs' capabilities with per-program profiles. AppArmor profiles have two modes of execution. Complaining/Learning: profile violations are permitted and logged. Enforced/Confined: enforces profile policy as well as logging the violation. Fixing this misconfiguration will configure AppArmor to operate in enforced mode.
