# 1.3.1.1 Ensure latest versions of the apparmor packages are installed (Automated)

## Profile

- Level 1 - Server
- Level 1 - Workstation

## Description

AppArmor provides Mandatory Access Controls.

## Rationale

Without a Mandatory Access Control system installed only the default Discretionary Access Control system will be available.

## Audit Procedure

### Command Line

Run the following command to verify that `apparmor` is installed:

```bash
# dpkg-query -s apparmor &>/dev/null && echo "apparmor is installed"
```

Run the following command to verify that `apparmor-utils` is installed:

```bash
# dpkg-query -s apparmor-utils &>/dev/null && echo "apparmor-utils is installed"
```

Run the following command to verify `apparmor` is the latest version:

```bash
# apt list --upgradable 2>&1 | grep -P '^apparmor\b'
```

Run the following command to verify `apparmor-utils` is the latest version:

```bash
# apt list --upgradable 2>&1 | grep -P '^apparmor-utils\b'
```

## Expected Result

- `apparmor is installed` should be returned
- `apparmor-utils is installed` should be returned
- Nothing should be returned for the upgradable checks (packages are up to date)

## Remediation

### Command Line

Run the following command to install the latest versions of `apparmor` and `apparmor-utils`:

```bash
# apt install apparmor apparmor-utils
```
