NAME

6       gpg_agent_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg_agent
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg_agent  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  gpg_agent processes execute with the gpg_agent_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
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep gpg_agent_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  gpg_agent_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the gpg_agent_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_agent_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/gpg-agent
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       gpg_agent  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup their
40       gpg_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for gpg_agent:
43
44       gpg_agent_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  gpg_agent_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  gpg_agent_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       gpg_agent policy is extremely flexible and has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run gpg_agent with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux process type gpg_agent_t can manage files labeled with the
69       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
70       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72       cifs_t
73
74
75       ecryptfs_t
76
77            /home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?
78            /home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?

105
106            all user tmp files

FILE CONTEXTS

110       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
111       type.
112
113       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
114
115       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
116       SELinux gpg_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
117       gpg_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
118
119       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
120
121       SELinux defines the file context types for the gpg_agent, if you wanted
122       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
123       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
124       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
125
126       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t   gpg_agent_tmp_t  '/srv/mygpg_agent_con‐
127       tent(/.*)?'
128       restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_agent_content
129
130       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
131       match multiple files.
132
133       The following file types are defined for gpg_agent:
134
135
136
137       gpg_agent_exec_t
138
139       -  Set  files with the gpg_agent_exec_t type, if you want to transition
140       an executable to the gpg_agent_t domain.
141
142
143
144       gpg_agent_tmp_t
145
146       - Set files with the gpg_agent_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store  gpg
147       agent temporary files in the /tmp directories.
148
149
150
151       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
152       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
153       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
154       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
155
156

COMMANDS

158       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
159       mappings.
160
161       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
162       process type is permissive.
163
164       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
165       icy modules.
166
167       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
168
169
170       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
171       icy settings.
