6 nova_ajax_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the nova_ajax
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the nova_ajax processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The nova_ajax processes execute with the nova_ajax_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 nova_ajax_t
20
21
22
24 The nova_ajax_t SELinux type can be entered via the file_type, unla‐
25 beled_t, proc_type, filesystem_type, nova_ajax_exec_t, mtrr_device_t,
26 sysctl_type file types.
27
28 The default entrypoint paths for the nova_ajax_t domain are the follow‐
29 ing:
30
31 all files on the system, /usr/bin/nova-ajax-console-proxy,
32 /dev/cpu/mtrr
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 nova_ajax policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
42 nova_ajax processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for nova_ajax:
45
46 nova_ajax_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a nova_ajax_t can be used to make the
49 process type nova_ajax_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
51 still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
56 nova_ajax policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run nova_ajax with the tightest
58 access possible.

61
62 If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
63 on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

88
89
90
91 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
92 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
93 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
94 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the allow_execheap
95 boolean. Disabled by default.
96
97 setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
98
99
100
101 If you want to allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as

104 boolean. Enabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
107

165 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
166
167 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
168
169
170
171 If you want to allow certain domains to map low memory in the kernel,
172 you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
173
174 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
175
176
177
178 If you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
179 policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values. Set this
180 to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the

193
195 The SELinux process type nova_ajax_t can manage files labeled with the
196 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
197 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
198
199 file_type
200
201 all files on the system
202
203
205 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
206 type.
207
208 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
209
210 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
211 SELinux nova_ajax policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
212 nova_ajax processes in as secure a method as possible.
213
214 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
215
216 SELinux defines the file context types for the nova_ajax, if you wanted
217 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
218 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
219 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
220
221 semanage fcontext -a -t nova_ajax_tmp_t '/srv/mynova_ajax_con‐
222 tent(/.*)?'
223 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynova_ajax_content
224
225 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
226 match multiple files.
227
228 The following file types are defined for nova_ajax:
229
230
231
232 nova_ajax_exec_t
233
234 - Set files with the nova_ajax_exec_t type, if you want to transition
235 an executable to the nova_ajax_t domain.
236
237
238
239 nova_ajax_initrc_exec_t
240
241 - Set files with the nova_ajax_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
242 sition an executable to the nova_ajax_initrc_t domain.
243
244
245
246 nova_ajax_tmp_t
247
248 - Set files with the nova_ajax_tmp_t type, if you want to store nova
249 ajax temporary files in the /tmp directories.
250
251
252
253 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
254 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
255 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
256 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
257
258
260 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
261 mappings.
262
263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
264 process type is permissive.
265
266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
267 icy modules.
268
269 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
270
271
272 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
273 icy settings.
