6 rtas_errd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rtas_errd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rtas_errd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The rtas_errd processes execute with the rtas_errd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep rtas_errd_t
20
24 The rtas_errd_t SELinux type can be entered via the rtas_errd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the rtas_errd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/rtas_errd, /usr/libexec/ppc64-diag/rtas_errd
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 rtas_errd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 rtas_errd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for rtas_errd:
43 rtas_errd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a rtas_errd_t can be used to make the
47 process type rtas_errd_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 rtas_errd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run rtas_errd with the tightest
56 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‐

118 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
122 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
123 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.

198 setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1
200 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory

239 The SELinux process type rtas_errd_t can manage files labeled with the
240 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
241 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
242 file_type
244 all files on the system
246
249 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
250 type.
251 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
253 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
255 SELinux rtas_errd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
256 rtas_errd processes in as secure a method as possible.
257 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
259 SELinux defines the file context types for the rtas_errd, if you wanted
261 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
262 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
263 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
264 semanage fcontext -a -t rtas_errd_var_run_t '/srv/myrtas_errd_con‐
266 tent(/.*)?'
267 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrtas_errd_content
268 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
270 match multiple files.
271 The following file types are defined for rtas_errd:
273 rtas_errd_exec_t
277 - Set files with the rtas_errd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
279 an executable to the rtas_errd_t domain.
280 Paths:
283 /usr/sbin/rtas_errd, /usr/libexec/ppc64-diag/rtas_errd
284 rtas_errd_log_t
287 - Set files with the rtas_errd_log_t type, if you want to treat the
289 data as rtas errd log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
290 tory.
291 Paths:
294 /var/log/platform.*, /var/log/rtas_errd.*, /var/log/epow_status.*
295 rtas_errd_tmp_t
298 - Set files with the rtas_errd_tmp_t type, if you want to store rtas
300 errd temporary files in the /tmp directories.
301 rtas_errd_tmpfs_t
305 - Set files with the rtas_errd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store rtas
307 errd files on a tmpfs file system.
308 rtas_errd_unit_file_t
312 - Set files with the rtas_errd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
314 the files as rtas errd unit content.
315 rtas_errd_var_lock_t
319 - Set files with the rtas_errd_var_lock_t type, if you want to treat
321 the files as rtas errd var lock data, stored under the /var/lock direc‐
322 tory
323 Paths:
326 /var/lock/.*librtas, /var/lock/subsys/rtas_errd
327 rtas_errd_var_run_t
330 - Set files with the rtas_errd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
332 rtas errd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
333 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
337 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
338 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
339 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
340
343 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
344 mappings.
345 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
347 process type is permissive.
348 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
350 icy modules.
351 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
353 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
356 icy settings.
