NAME

6       cupsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cupsd processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cupsd processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The cupsd processes execute with the  cupsd_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep cupsd_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The cupsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the cupsd_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the cupsd_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/hp-[^/]+, /usr/share/hplip/.*.py, /usr/lib/cups/backend/hp.*,
28       /usr/bin/hpijs,   /usr/sbin/cupsd,   /usr/sbin/hpiod,   /usr/sbin/cups-
29       browsed

PROCESS TYPES

32       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33       system
34
35       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
38       cupsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cupsd  pro‐
39       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
40
41       The following process types are defined for cupsd:
42
43       cupsd_config_t, cupsd_t, cupsd_lpd_t, cups_pdf_t
44
45       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a cupsd_t can be used to make the process
46       type cupsd_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
47       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48       ated.
49
50

BOOLEANS

52       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   cupsd
53       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54       manipulate the policy and run cupsd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58       If you want to allow cups  execmem/execstack,  you  must  turn  on  the
59       cups_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.
60
61       setsebool -P cups_execmem 1
62
63
64
65       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
66       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
67
68       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
69
70
71
72       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
73       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
74
75       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
76

MANAGED FILES

80       The SELinux process type cupsd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
81       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
82       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

215       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
216       type.
217
218       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
219
220       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
221       SELinux  cupsd  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
222       cupsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
223
224       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
225
226       SELinux defines the file context types for the cupsd, if you wanted  to
227       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
228       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
229       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
230
231       semanage fcontext -a -t cupsd_unit_file_t '/srv/mycupsd_content(/.*)?'
232       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycupsd_content
233
234       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
235       match multiple files.
236
237       The following file types are defined for cupsd:

390
391
392       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
393       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
394       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
395       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
396
397

COMMANDS

399       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
400       mappings.
401
402       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
403       process type is permissive.
404
405       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
406       icy modules.
407
408       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
409
410
411       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
412       icy settings.
