6 geoclue_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the geoclue pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the geoclue processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The geoclue processes execute with the geoclue_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep geoclue_t
20
24 The geoclue_t SELinux type can be entered via the geoclue_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the geoclue_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/geoclue
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 geoclue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their geoclue
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for geoclue:
43 geoclue_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a geoclue_t can be used to make the process
47 type geoclue_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. geoclue
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run geoclue with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
61 you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
62 setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
64 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
68 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
69 default.
70 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
72 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
76 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
77 ean. Enabled by default.
78 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
80 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
84 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
85 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
86 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
88 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
92 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
93 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
95 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
99 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
100 default.
101 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
103 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
107 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
108 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
110 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
114 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
115 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
117 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
121 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
122 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
124 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
128 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
129 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
131
135 The SELinux process type geoclue_t can manage files labeled with the
136 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
137 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
138 geoclue_tmp_t
140 geoclue_var_lib_t
143 /var/lib/geoclue(/.*)?
145
148 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
149 type.
150 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
152 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
154 SELinux geoclue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
155 geoclue processes in as secure a method as possible.
156 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
158 SELinux defines the file context types for the geoclue, if you wanted
160 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
161 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
162 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
163 semanage fcontext -a -t geoclue_var_lib_t '/srv/mygeoclue_con‐
165 tent(/.*)?'
166 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygeoclue_content
167 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
169 match multiple files.
170 The following file types are defined for geoclue:
172 geoclue_exec_t
176 - Set files with the geoclue_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
178 executable to the geoclue_t domain.
179 geoclue_tmp_t
183 - Set files with the geoclue_tmp_t type, if you want to store geoclue
185 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
186 geoclue_var_lib_t
190 - Set files with the geoclue_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
192 geoclue files under the /var/lib directory.
193 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
197 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
198 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
199 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
200
203 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
204 mappings.
205 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
207 process type is permissive.
208 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
210 icy modules.
211 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
213 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
216 icy settings.
