6 hald_mac_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hald_mac pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hald_mac processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The hald_mac processes execute with the hald_mac_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep hald_mac_t
20
24 The hald_mac_t SELinux type can be entered via the hald_mac_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the hald_mac_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/radeontool, /usr/libexec/hald-addon-macbook-backlight,
31 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-macbookpro-backlight
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 hald_mac policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their hald_mac
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for hald_mac:
44 hald_mac_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a hald_mac_t can be used to make the process
48 type hald_mac_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 hald_mac policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run hald_mac with the tightest
57 access possible.
58 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
62 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
63 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
65 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
69 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
72 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
76 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
86 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
90 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
91 default.
92 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
94 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
98 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
99 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
101 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
105 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
106 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
108 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
112 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
113 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
115
119 The SELinux process type hald_mac_t can manage files labeled with the
120 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
121 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
122 hald_log_t
124 /var/log/pm(/.*)?
126 /var/log/pm-.*.log.*
127 hald_var_lib_t
129 /var/lib/hal(/.*)?
131 initrc_tmp_t
133 mnt_t
136 /mnt(/[^/]*)
138 /mnt(/[^/]*)?
139 /rhev(/[^/]*)?
140 /media(/[^/]*)
141 /media(/[^/]*)?
142 /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
143 /media/.hal-.*
144 /net
145 /afs
146 /rhev
147 /misc
148 tmp_t
150 /tmp
152 /usr/tmp
153 /var/tmp
154 /tmp-inst
155 /var/tmp-inst
156 /var/tmp/vi.recover

160 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
161 type.
162 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
164 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
166 SELinux hald_mac policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
167 hald_mac processes in as secure a method as possible.
168 The following file types are defined for hald_mac:
170 hald_mac_exec_t
174 - Set files with the hald_mac_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
176 executable to the hald_mac_t domain.
177 Paths:
180 /usr/sbin/radeontool, /usr/libexec/hald-addon-macbook-backlight,
181 /usr/libexec/hald-addon-macbookpro-backlight
182 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
185 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
186 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
187 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
188
191 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
192 mappings.
193 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
195 process type is permissive.
196 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
198 icy modules.
199 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
201 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
204 icy settings.
