6 abrt_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 abrt_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the abrt_helper processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The abrt_helper processes execute with the abrt_helper_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep abrt_helper_t
20
24 The abrt_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 abrt_helper_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the abrt_helper_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 abrt_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 abrt_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for abrt_helper:
43 abrt_helper_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a abrt_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type abrt_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 abrt_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run abrt_helper with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
61 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
62 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
64 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
69 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
71 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
75 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
76 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
78 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
82 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
83 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
85 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
89 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
90 default.
91 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
93 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
97 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
98 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
100 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
104 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
105 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
107 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
111 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
112 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
114
118 The SELinux process type abrt_helper_t can manage files labeled with
119 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
120 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
121 missions.
122 abrt_var_cache_t
124 /var/cache/abrt(/.*)?
126 /var/spool/abrt(/.*)?
127 /var/cache/abrt-di(/.*)?
128 initrc_tmp_t
130 mnt_t
133 /mnt(/[^/]*)
135 /mnt(/[^/]*)?
136 /rhev(/[^/]*)?
137 /media(/[^/]*)
138 /media(/[^/]*)?
139 /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
140 /media/.hal-.*
141 /net
142 /afs
143 /rhev
144 /misc
145 tmp_t
147 /tmp
149 /usr/tmp
150 /var/tmp
151 /tmp-inst
152 /var/tmp-inst
153 /var/tmp/vi.recover

157 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
158 type.
159 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
161 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
163 SELinux abrt_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
164 their abrt_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
165 The following file types are defined for abrt_helper:
167 abrt_helper_exec_t
171 - Set files with the abrt_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
173 an executable to the abrt_helper_t domain.
174 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
178 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
179 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
180 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
181
184 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
185 mappings.
186 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
188 process type is permissive.
189 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
191 icy modules.
192 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
194 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
197 icy settings.
