6 l2tpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the l2tpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the l2tpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The l2tpd processes execute with the l2tpd_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 l2tpd_t
19
20
21
23 The l2tpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the file_type, unlabeled_t,
24 proc_type, filesystem_type, l2tpd_exec_t, mtrr_device_t, sysctl_type
25 file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the l2tpd_t domain are the following:
28
29 all files on the system, /usr/sbin/xl2tpd, /usr/sbin/prol2tpd,
30 /usr/sbin/openl2tpd, /dev/cpu/mtrr
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 l2tpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their l2tpd pro‐
40 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for l2tpd:
43
44 l2tpd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a l2tpd_t can be used to make the process
47 type l2tpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. l2tpd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run l2tpd with the tightest access possible.

58
59 If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
60 on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

85
86
87
88 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
89 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
90 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
91 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the allow_execheap
92 boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
95
96

101 boolean. Enabled by default.
102
103 setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
104

111 setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
112
113
114
115 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
116 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
117 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
118 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execstack
119 boolean. Enabled by default.
120
121 setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
122
123
124

158
159
160

162 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
163
164 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
165
166
167
168 If you want to allow certain domains to map low memory in the kernel,
169 you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
170
171 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
172
173

188
189
190
192 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
193
194 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
195 command:
196
197 semanage port -l
198
199
200 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
201 SELinux l2tpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
202 l2tpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
203
204 The following port types are defined for l2tpd:
205
206
207 l2tp_port_t
208
209
210
211 Default Defined Ports:
212 tcp 1701
213 udp 1701
214
216 The SELinux process type l2tpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
217 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
218 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
219
220 file_type
221
222 all files on the system
223
224
226 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
227 type.
228
229 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
230
231 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
232 SELinux l2tpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
233 l2tpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
234
235 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
236
237
238 l2tpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
239 under the /var/run/xl2tpd directory. If you would like to store the
240 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
241 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
242 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
243
244 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/xl2tpd /srv/xl2tpd
245 restorecon -R -v /srv/xl2tpd
246
247 l2tpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
248 under the /var/run/prol2tpd directory. If you would like to store the
249 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
250 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
251 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
252
253 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/prol2tpd /srv/prol2tpd
254 restorecon -R -v /srv/prol2tpd
255
256 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
257
258 SELinux defines the file context types for the l2tpd, if you wanted to
259 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
260 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
261 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
262
263 semanage fcontext -a -t l2tpd_var_run_t '/srv/myl2tpd_content(/.*)?'
264 restorecon -R -v /srv/myl2tpd_content
265
266 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
267 match multiple files.
268
269 The following file types are defined for l2tpd:
270
271
272
273 l2tpd_exec_t
274
275 - Set files with the l2tpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
276 executable to the l2tpd_t domain.
277
278
279 Paths:
280 /usr/sbin/xl2tpd, /usr/sbin/prol2tpd, /usr/sbin/openl2tpd
281
282
283 l2tpd_initrc_exec_t
284
285 - Set files with the l2tpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
286 tion an executable to the l2tpd_initrc_t domain.
287
288
289 Paths:
290 /etc/rc.d/init.d/xl2tpd, /etc/rc.d/init.d/prol2tpd,
291 /etc/rc.d/init.d/openl2tpd
292
293
294 l2tpd_tmp_t
295
296 - Set files with the l2tpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store l2tpd tem‐
297 porary files in the /tmp directories.
298
299
300
301 l2tpd_var_run_t
302
303 - Set files with the l2tpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
304 l2tpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
305
306
307 Paths:
308 /var/run/xl2tpd(/.*)?, /var/run/prol2tpd(/.*)?,
309 /var/run/xl2tpd.pid, /var/run/prol2tpd.ctl, /var/run/prol2tpd.pid,
310 /var/run/openl2tpd.pid
311
312
313 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
314 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
315 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
316 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
317
318
320 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
321 mappings.
322
323 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
324 process type is permissive.
325
326 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
327 icy modules.
328
329 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
330
331 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
332
333
334 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
335 icy settings.
