6 pcp_pmie_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pcp_pmie pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pcp_pmie processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The pcp_pmie processes execute with the pcp_pmie_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 pcp_pmie_t
20
21
22
24 The pcp_pmie_t SELinux type can be entered via the file_type, unla‐
25 beled_t, proc_type, filesystem_type, mtrr_device_t, sysctl_type,
26 pcp_pmie_exec_t file types.
27
28 The default entrypoint paths for the pcp_pmie_t domain are the follow‐
29 ing:
30
31 all files on the system, /dev/cpu/mtrr, /usr/bin/pmie,
32 /usr/libexec/pcp/bin/pmie
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 pcp_pmie policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pcp_pmie
42 processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for pcp_pmie:
45
46 pcp_pmie_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a pcp_pmie_t can be used to make the process
49 type pcp_pmie_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
50 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
51 ated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
56 pcp_pmie policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run pcp_pmie 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
102 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
103 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execmem
104 boolean. Enabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
107

114 setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
115
116
117
118 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
119 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
120 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
121 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execstack
122 boolean. Enabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
125
126
127
128 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must

154
155
156
157 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
158 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

160 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
161
162
163
164 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
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 pcp_pmie_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 pcp_pmie policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
212 pcp_pmie processes in as secure a method as possible.
213
214 The following file types are defined for pcp_pmie:
215
216
217
218 pcp_pmie_exec_t
219
220 - Set files with the pcp_pmie_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
221 executable to the pcp_pmie_t domain.
222
223
224 Paths:
225 /usr/bin/pmie, /usr/libexec/pcp/bin/pmie
226
227
228 pcp_pmie_initrc_exec_t
229
230 - Set files with the pcp_pmie_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
231 sition an executable to the pcp_pmie_initrc_t domain.
232
233
234
235 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
236 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
237 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
238 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
239
240
242 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
243 mappings.
244
245 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
246 process type is permissive.
247
248 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
249 icy modules.
250
251 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
252
253
254 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
255 icy settings.
