6 keepalived_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the keepalived
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the keepalived processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The keepalived processes execute with the keepalived_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep keepalived_t
20
24 The keepalived_t SELinux type can be entered via the keepalived_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the keepalived_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/sbin/keepalived
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 keepalived policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 keepalived processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for keepalived:
43 keepalived_t, keepalived_unconfined_script_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a keepalived_t can be used to make the
47 process type keepalived_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 keepalived policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run keepalived with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 If you want to determine whether keepalived can connect to all TCP
61 ports, you must turn on the keepalived_connect_any boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63 setsebool -P keepalived_connect_any 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
76 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

83 The SELinux process type keepalived_t can manage files labeled with the
84 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
85 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

138 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
139 type.
140 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
142 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
144 SELinux keepalived policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
145 their keepalived processes in as secure a method as possible.
146 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
148 SELinux defines the file context types for the keepalived, if you
150 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
151 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
152 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
153 semanage fcontext -a -t keepalived_tmp_t '/srv/mykeepalived_con‐
155 tent(/.*)?'
156 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykeepalived_content
157 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
159 match multiple files.
160 The following file types are defined for keepalived:
162 keepalived_exec_t
166 - Set files with the keepalived_exec_t type, if you want to transition
168 an executable to the keepalived_t domain.
169 keepalived_tmp_t
173 - Set files with the keepalived_tmp_t type, if you want to store
175 keepalived temporary files in the /tmp directories.
176 keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t
180 - Set files with the keepalived_unconfined_script_exec_t type, if you
182 want to transition an executable to the keepalived_unconfined_script_t
183 domain.
184 keepalived_unit_file_t
188 - Set files with the keepalived_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
190 the files as keepalived unit content.
191 keepalived_var_run_t
195 - Set files with the keepalived_var_run_t type, if you want to store
197 the keepalived files under the /run or /var/run directory.
198 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
202 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
203 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
204 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
205
208 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
209 mappings.
210 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
212 process type is permissive.
213 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
215 icy modules.
216 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
218 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
221 icy settings.
