6 aide_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the aide processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the aide processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The aide processes execute with the aide_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep aide_t
19
23 The aide_t SELinux type can be entered via the aide_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the aide_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their aide pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for aide:
40 aide_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a aide_t can be used to make the process
44 type aide_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. aide
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run aide with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
57 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
58 default.
59 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
61 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
65 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
66 ean. Enabled by default.
67 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
69 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
73 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
74 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
75 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
77 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
81 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
82 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
84 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
88 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
89 default.
90 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
92 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
96 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
97 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
99 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
103 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
104 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
106
110 The SELinux process type aide_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
111 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
112 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
113 aide_db_t
115 /var/lib/aide(/.*)?
117 aide_log_t
119 /var/log/aide(/.*)?
121 /var/log/aide.log.*
122
125 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
126 type.
127 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
129 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
131 SELinux aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their aide
132 processes in as secure a method as possible.
133 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
135 aide policy stores data with multiple different file context types
138 under the /var/log/aide directory. If you would like to store the data
139 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
140 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
141 dirctory you would execute the following command:
142 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/aide /srv/aide
144 restorecon -R -v /srv/aide
145 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
147 SELinux defines the file context types for the aide, if you wanted to
149 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
150 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
151 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
152 semanage fcontext -a -t aide_log_t '/srv/myaide_content(/.*)?'
154 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaide_content
155 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
157 match multiple files.
158 The following file types are defined for aide:
160 aide_db_t
164 - Set files with the aide_db_t type, if you want to treat the files as
166 aide database content.
167 aide_exec_t
171 - Set files with the aide_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
173 executable to the aide_t domain.
174 Paths:
177 /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
178 aide_log_t
181 - Set files with the aide_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
183 aide log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
184 Paths:
187 /var/log/aide(/.*)?, /var/log/aide.log.*
188 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
191 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
192 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
193 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
194
197 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
198 mappings.
199 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
201 process type is permissive.
202 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
204 icy modules.
205 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
207 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
210 icy settings.
