NAME

6       devicekit_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the devicekit
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the devicekit  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  devicekit processes execute with the devicekit_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 devicekit_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  devicekit_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the file_type, unla‐
25       beled_t, proc_type, filesystem_type,  mtrr_device_t,  devicekit_exec_t,
26       sysctl_type file types.
27
28       The default entrypoint paths for the devicekit_t domain are the follow‐
29       ing:
30
31       all files on the system, /dev/cpu/mtrr, /usr/libexec/devkit-daemon
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       devicekit policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup  their
41       devicekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for devicekit:
44
45       devicekit_power_t, devicekit_disk_t, devicekit_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  devicekit_t  can  be  used to make the
48       process type devicekit_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to
49       permissive  process  types,  but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50       still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux  policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access   required.
55       devicekit  policy  is  extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56       allow you to manipulate the policy and run devicekit with the  tightest
57       access possible.
58
59
60
61       If  you  want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
62       you  must  turn  on  the  allow_daemons_use_tty  boolean.  Disabled  by
63       default.
64
65       setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
70       you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their  heap  memory
77       executable.   Doing  this  is  a  really bad idea. Probably indicates a
78       badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack.  This  executable
79       should  be  reported  in  bugzilla, you must turn on the allow_execheap
80       boolean. Disabled by default.
81
82       setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
83
84
85
86       If you want to allow unconfined executables to map a memory  region  as
87       both  executable  and  writable,  this  is dangerous and the executable
88       should be reported in bugzilla), you must  turn  on  the  allow_execmem
89       boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91       setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
92
93
94
95       If  you  want  to  allow  all  unconfined  executables to use libraries
96       requiring text relocation that are not  labeled  textrel_shlib_t),  you
97       must turn on the allow_execmod boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99       setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
100
101
102
103       If  you  want  to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
104       cutable.  This should never, ever be necessary.  Probably  indicates  a
105       badly  coded  executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
106       should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on  the  allow_execstack
107       boolean. Enabled by default.
108
109       setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
110
111
112
113       If  you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
114       turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
115
116       setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
117
118
119
120       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load  modules,  you
121       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
122       default.
123
124       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
125
126
127
128       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
129       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
130
131       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
132
133
134
135       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
136       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
137
138       setsebool -P global_ssp 1
139
140
141
142       If you want to allow certain domains to map low memory in  the  kernel,
143       you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
144
145       setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
146
147
148
149       If  you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
150       policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values.  Set  this
151       to  true  and  you  have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the
152       secure_mode_policyload boolean. Disabled by default.
153
154       setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1
155
156
157
158       If you want to support X userspace object manager, you must turn on the
159       xserver_object_manager boolean. Disabled by default.
160
161       setsebool -P xserver_object_manager 1

MANAGED FILES

166       The  SELinux process type devicekit_t can manage files labeled with the
167       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
168       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
169
170       file_type
171
172            all files on the system
173
174

FILE CONTEXTS

176       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
177       type.
178
179       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
180
181       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
182       SELinux devicekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
183       devicekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
184
185       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186
187       SELinux defines the file context types for the devicekit, if you wanted
188       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
189       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
190       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
191
192       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  devicekit_var_run_t  '/srv/mydevicekit_con‐
193       tent(/.*)?'
194       restorecon -R -v /srv/mydevicekit_content
195
196       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
197       match multiple files.
198
199       The following file types are defined for devicekit:
200
201
202
203       devicekit_disk_exec_t
204
205       - Set files with the devicekit_disk_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
206       tion an executable to the devicekit_disk_t domain.
207
208
209       Paths:
210            /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon, /usr/libexec/devkit-disks-daemon
211
212
213       devicekit_exec_t
214
215       - Set files with the devicekit_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
216       an executable to the devicekit_t domain.
217
218
219
220       devicekit_power_exec_t
221
222       -  Set files with the devicekit_power_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
223       sition an executable to the devicekit_power_t domain.
224
225
226       Paths:
227            /usr/libexec/upowerd, /usr/libexec/devkit-power-daemon
228
229
230       devicekit_tmp_t
231
232       - Set files with  the  devicekit_tmp_t  type,  if  you  want  to  store
233       devicekit temporary files in the /tmp directories.
234
235
236
237       devicekit_var_lib_t
238
239       - Set files with the devicekit_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
240       devicekit files under the /var/lib directory.
241
242
243       Paths:
244            /var/lib/upower(/.*)?,                      /var/lib/udisks(/.*)?,
245            /var/lib/DeviceKit-.*
246
247
248       devicekit_var_run_t
249
250       - Set files with the devicekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
251       devicekit files under the /run or /var/run directory.
252
253
254       Paths:
255            /var/run/devkit(/.*)?,                      /var/run/udisks(/.*)?,
256            /var/run/upower(/.*)?, /var/run/DeviceKit-disks(/.*)?
257
258
259       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
260       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
261       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
262       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
263
264

COMMANDS

266       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
267       mappings.
268
269       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
270       process type is permissive.
271
272       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
273       icy modules.
274
275       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
276
277
278       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
279       icy settings.
