6 rssh_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rssh processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rssh processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The rssh processes execute with the rssh_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep rssh_t
19
20
21
23 The rssh_t SELinux type can be entered via the rssh_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the rssh_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/rssh
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 rssh policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rssh pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for rssh:
40
41 rssh_t, rssh_chroot_helper_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a rssh_t can be used to make the process
44 type rssh_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. rssh
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run rssh with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 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
60 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
61
62
63
64 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
68 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
69
70
71
72 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
76 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
77
78
79
80 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
83 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
84
85
86
87 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
91 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
92
93
94
95 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
98 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
99
100
101
102 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
103 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
104
105 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
106
107
108
109 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
110 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
111
112 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
113
114
115
117 The SELinux process type rssh_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
118 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
119 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
120
121 rssh_rw_t
122
123
124
126 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
127 type.
128
129 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
130
131 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
132 SELinux rssh policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rssh
133 processes in as secure a method as possible.
134
135 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
136
137 SELinux defines the file context types for the rssh, if you wanted to
138 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
139 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
140 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
141
142 semanage fcontext -a -t rssh_rw_t '/srv/myrssh_content(/.*)?'
143 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrssh_content
144
145 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
146 match multiple files.
147
148 The following file types are defined for rssh:
149
150
151
152 rssh_chroot_helper_exec_t
153
154 - Set files with the rssh_chroot_helper_exec_t type, if you want to
155 transition an executable to the rssh_chroot_helper_t domain.
156
157
158
159 rssh_exec_t
160
161 - Set files with the rssh_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
162 executable to the rssh_t domain.
163
164
165
166 rssh_ro_t
167
168 - Set files with the rssh_ro_t type, if you want to treat the files as
169 rssh read/only content.
170
171
172
173 rssh_rw_t
174
175 - Set files with the rssh_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files as
176 rssh read/write content.
177
178
179
180 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
181 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
182 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
183 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
184
185
187 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
188 mappings.
189
190 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
191 process type is permissive.
192
193 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
194 icy modules.
195
196 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
197
198
199 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
200 icy settings.
