UBUNTU: SAUCE: apparmor: fix replacement race in reading rawdata
The reading of rawdata is subject to a replacement race when the rawdata is read in chunks smaller than the data size. For each read the profile proxy is rechecked for the newest profile; Which means if a profile is replaced between reads later chunks will contain data from the new version of the profile while the earlier reads will contain data from the previous version. This can result in data that is inconsistent and corrupt. Instead of rechecking for the current profile at each read. Get the current profile at the time of the open and use the rawdata of the profile for the lifetime that the file handle is open.
