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 users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
69 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
70 default.
71 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
73 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
77 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78 ean. Enabled by default.
79 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
81 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
85 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
101 default.
102 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
122 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
123 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
125 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
129 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
130 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
132 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
136 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
137 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
139
143 The SELinux process type abrt_helper_t can manage files labeled with
144 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
145 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
146 missions.
147 abrt_var_cache_t
149 /var/tmp/abrt(/.*)?
151 /var/cache/abrt(/.*)?
152 /var/spool/abrt(/.*)?
153 /var/spool/debug(/.*)?
154 /var/cache/abrt-di(/.*)?
155 /var/spool/rhsm/debug(/.*)?
156
159 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
160 type.
161 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
163 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
165 SELinux abrt_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
166 their abrt_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
167 The following file types are defined for abrt_helper:
169 abrt_helper_exec_t
173 - Set files with the abrt_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
175 an executable to the abrt_helper_t domain.
176 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
180 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
181 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
182 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
183
186 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
187 mappings.
188 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
190 process type is permissive.
191 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
193 icy modules.
194 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
196 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
199 icy settings.
