6 mailman_queue_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_queue processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_queue processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_queue processes execute with the mailman_queue_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mailman_queue_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_queue_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_queue_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_queue_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/lib(64)?/mailman/bin/qrunner, /usr/lib/mailman/cron/.*
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 mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for mailman_queue:
43
44 mailman_queue_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_queue_t can be used to make the
47 process type mailman_queue_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mail‐
54 man_queue policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_queue with the
56 tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
61 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
75 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
82 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
85
86
87
88 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
89 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
90 default.
91
92 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
97 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
104 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
107
108
109
110 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
111 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
112
113 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
114
115
116
118 The SELinux process type mailman_queue_t can manage files labeled with
119 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
120 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
121 missions.

187 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
188 type.
189
190 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
191
192 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
193 SELinux mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
194 their mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
195
196 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
197
198 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_queue, if you
199 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
200 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
201 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
202
203 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_queue_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_queue_con‐
204 tent(/.*)?'
205 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_queue_content
206
207 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
208 match multiple files.
209
210 The following file types are defined for mailman_queue:
211
212
213
214 mailman_queue_exec_t
215
216 - Set files with the mailman_queue_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
217 tion an executable to the mailman_queue_t domain.
218
219
220 Paths:
221 /usr/lib(64)?/mailman/bin/qrunner, /usr/lib/mailman/cron/.*
222
223
224 mailman_queue_tmp_t
225
226 - Set files with the mailman_queue_tmp_t type, if you want to store
227 mailman queue temporary files in the /tmp directories.
228
229
230
231 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
232 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
233 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
234 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
235
236
238 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
239 mappings.
240
241 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
242 process type is permissive.
243
244 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
245 icy modules.
246
247 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
248
249
250 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
251 icy settings.
