NAME

6       cpucontrol_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cpucontrol
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cpucontrol processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  cpucontrol  processes  execute with the cpucontrol_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 cpucontrol_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  cpucontrol_t SELinux type can be entered via the cpucontrol_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the cpucontrol_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl
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       cpucontrol  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their cpu‐
40       control processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for cpucontrol:
43
44       cpucontrol_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a cpucontrol_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  cpucontrol_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.  cpucon‐
54       trol policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run cpucontrol 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
64
65
66
67       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
68       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
71

73

FILE CONTEXTS

75       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
76       type.
77
78       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
79
80       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
81       SELinux cpucontrol policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
82       their cpucontrol processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
85
86       SELinux  defines  the  file  context  types  for the cpucontrol, if you
87       wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need  to
88       execute  the  semanage  command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
89       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
90
91       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  cpucontrol_conf_t   '/srv/mycpucontrol_con‐
92       tent(/.*)?'
93       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycpucontrol_content
94
95       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
96       match multiple files.
97
98       The following file types are defined for cpucontrol:
99
100
101
102       cpucontrol_conf_t
103
104       - Set files with the cpucontrol_conf_t type, if you want to  treat  the
105       files  as  cpucontrol configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
106       directory.
107
108
109
110       cpucontrol_exec_t
111
112       - Set files with the cpucontrol_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
113       an executable to the cpucontrol_t domain.
114
115
116       Paths:
117            /sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl
118
119
120       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
121       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
122       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
123       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
124
125

COMMANDS

127       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
128       mappings.
129
130       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
131       process type is permissive.
132
133       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
134       icy modules.
135
136       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
137
138
139       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
140       icy settings.
