6 brltty_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the brltty pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the brltty processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The brltty processes execute with the brltty_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep brltty_t
20
24 The brltty_t SELinux type can be entered via the brltty_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the brltty_t domain are the following:
28 /usr/bin/brltty
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 brltty policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their brltty
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40 The following process types are defined for brltty:
42 brltty_t
44 Note: semanage permissive -a brltty_t can be used to make the process
46 type brltty_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. brltty
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run brltty with the tightest access possible.
55 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60 setsebool -P fips_mode 1

66 The SELinux process type brltty_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

119 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
120 type.
121 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
123 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
125 SELinux brltty policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
126 brltty processes in as secure a method as possible.
127 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
129 SELinux defines the file context types for the brltty, if you wanted to
131 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
132 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
133 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
134 semanage fcontext -a -t brltty_unit_file_t '/srv/mybrltty_con‐
136 tent(/.*)?'
137 restorecon -R -v /srv/mybrltty_content
138 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
140 match multiple files.
141 The following file types are defined for brltty:
143 brltty_exec_t
147 - Set files with the brltty_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
149 executable to the brltty_t domain.
150 brltty_log_t
154 - Set files with the brltty_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
156 as brltty log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
157 brltty_unit_file_t
161 - Set files with the brltty_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
163 files as brltty unit content.
164 brltty_var_lib_t
168 - Set files with the brltty_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
170 brltty files under the /var/lib directory.
171 brltty_var_run_t
175 - Set files with the brltty_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
177 brltty files under the /run or /var/run directory.
178 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
182 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
183 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
184 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
185
188 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
189 mappings.
190 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
192 process type is permissive.
193 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
195 icy modules.
196 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
198 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
201 icy settings.
