Summary
apparmor: fix invalid deref of rawdata when export_binary is unset
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

apparmor: fix invalid deref of rawdata when export_binary is unset

If the export_binary parameter is disabled on runtime, profiles that were loaded before that will still have their rawdata stored in apparmorfs, with a symbolic link to the rawdata on the policy directory. When one of those profiles are replaced, the rawdata is set to NULL, but when trying to resolve the symbolic links to rawdata for that profile, it will try to dereference profile->rawdata->name when profile->rawdata is now NULL causing an oops. Fix it by checking if rawdata is set.
