NAME

6       wireshark_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the wireshark
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the wireshark  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  wireshark processes execute with the wireshark_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 wireshark_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  wireshark_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the wireshark_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the wireshark_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/tshark, /usr/bin/wireshark
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       wireshark  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their wire‐
40       shark processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for wireshark:
43
44       wireshark_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  wireshark_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  wireshark_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  wire‐
54       shark policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run wireshark with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       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‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to  use  blue‐
69       tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
70       Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
84       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
91       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
97       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
98       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
101
102
103
104       If you want to allow regular users direct dri device access,  you  must
105       turn on the selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
106
107       setsebool -P selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1
108
109
110
111       If  you  want  to allows clients to write to the X server shared memory
112       segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm boolean. Dis‐
113       abled by default.
114
115       setsebool -P xserver_clients_write_xshm 1

MANAGED FILES

120       The  SELinux process type wireshark_t can manage files labeled with the
121       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
122       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

169       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
170       type.
171
172       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
173
174       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
175       SELinux wireshark policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
176       wireshark processes in as secure a method as possible.
177
178       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
179
180       SELinux defines the file context types for the wireshark, if you wanted
181       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
182       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
183       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
184
185       semanage   fcontext   -a  -t  wireshark_tmpfs_t  '/srv/mywireshark_con‐
186       tent(/.*)?'
187       restorecon -R -v /srv/mywireshark_content
188
189       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
190       match multiple files.
191
192       The following file types are defined for wireshark:
193
194
195
196       wireshark_exec_t
197
198       -  Set  files with the wireshark_exec_t type, if you want to transition
199       an executable to the wireshark_t domain.
200
201
202       Paths:
203            /usr/bin/tshark, /usr/bin/wireshark
204
205
206       wireshark_home_t
207
208       - Set files with the wireshark_home_t type, if you want to store  wire‐
209       shark files in the users home directory.
210
211
212
213       wireshark_tmp_t
214
215       -  Set  files with the wireshark_tmp_t type, if you want to store wire‐
216       shark temporary files in the /tmp directories.
217
218
219
220       wireshark_tmpfs_t
221
222       - Set files with the wireshark_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store wire‐
223       shark files on a tmpfs file system.
224
225
226
227       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
228       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
229       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
230       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
231
232

COMMANDS

234       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
235       mappings.
236
237       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
238       process type is permissive.
239
240       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
241       icy modules.
242
243       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
244
245
246       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
247       icy settings.
