6 keepalived_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the keepalived
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the keepalived processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The keepalived processes execute with the keepalived_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep keepalived_t
20
21
22
24 The keepalived_t SELinux type can be entered via the keepalived_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the keepalived_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/keepalived
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 keepalived policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 keepalived processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for keepalived:
43
44 keepalived_t, keepalived_unconfined_script_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a keepalived_t can be used to make the
47 process type keepalived_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 keepalived policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run keepalived with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58

179 The SELinux process type keepalived_t can manage files labeled with the
180 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
181 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

234 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
235 type.
236
237 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
238
239 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
240 SELinux keepalived policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
241 their keepalived processes in as secure a method as possible.
242
243 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
244
245 SELinux defines the file context types for the keepalived, if you
246 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
247 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
248 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
249
250 semanage fcontext -a -t keepalived_var_run_t '/srv/mykeepalived_con‐
251 tent(/.*)?'
252 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykeepalived_content
253
254 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
255 match multiple files.
256
257 The following file types are defined for keepalived:
258
259
260
261 keepalived_exec_t
262
263 - Set files with the keepalived_exec_t type, if you want to transition
264 an executable to the keepalived_t domain.
265
266
267
268 keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t
269
270 - Set files with the keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t type, if you
271 want to transition an executable to the keepalived_unconfined_script_t
272 domain.
273
274
275
276 keepalived_unit_file_t
277
278 - Set files with the keepalived_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
279 the files as keepalived unit content.
280
281
282
283 keepalived_var_run_t
284
285 - Set files with the keepalived_var_run_t type, if you want to store
286 the keepalived files under the /run or /var/run directory.
287
288
289
290 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
291 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
292 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
293 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
294
295
297 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
298 mappings.
299
300 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
301 process type is permissive.
302
303 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
304 icy modules.
305
306 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
307
308
309 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
310 icy settings.
