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. Disabled 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.  Disabled  by
106       default.
107
108       setsebool -P selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1
109
110
111
112       If you want to allows clients to write to the X  server  shared  memory
113       segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm boolean. Dis‐
114       abled by default.
115
116       setsebool -P xserver_clients_write_xshm 1

MANAGED FILES

121       The SELinux process type wireshark_t can manage files labeled with  the
122       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
123       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
124

FILE CONTEXTS

183       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
184       type.
185
186       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
187
188       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
189       SELinux wireshark policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
190       wireshark processes in as secure a method as possible.
191
192       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
193
194       SELinux defines the file context types for the wireshark, if you wanted
195       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
196       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
197       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
198
199       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t   wireshark_tmpfs_t   '/srv/mywireshark_con‐
200       tent(/.*)?'
201       restorecon -R -v /srv/mywireshark_content
202
203       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
204       match multiple files.
205
206       The following file types are defined for wireshark:
207
208
209
210       wireshark_exec_t
211
212       - Set files with the wireshark_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
213       an executable to the wireshark_t domain.
214
215
216       Paths:
217            /usr/bin/tshark, /usr/bin/wireshark
218
219
220       wireshark_home_t
221
222       -  Set files with the wireshark_home_t type, if you want to store wire‐
223       shark files in the users home directory.
224
225
226
227       wireshark_tmp_t
228
229       - Set files with the wireshark_tmp_t type, if you want to  store  wire‐
230       shark temporary files in the /tmp directories.
231
232
233
234       wireshark_tmpfs_t
235
236       - Set files with the wireshark_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store wire‐
237       shark files on a tmpfs file system.
238
239
240
241       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
242       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
243       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
244       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
245
246

COMMANDS

248       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
249       mappings.
250
251       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
252       process type is permissive.
253
254       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
255       icy modules.
256
257       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
258
259
260       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
261       icy settings.
