6 policykit_resolve_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pol‐
7 icykit_resolve processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_resolve processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12 The policykit_resolve processes execute with the policykit_resolve_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep policykit_resolve_t
20
24 The policykit_resolve_t SELinux type can be entered via the poli‐
25 cykit_resolve_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_resolve_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*, /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
31 resolve-exe-helper.*
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 policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for policykit_resolve:
44 policykit_resolve_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a policykit_resolve_t can be used to make
48 the process type policykit_resolve_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
49 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50 sages are still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. poli‐
55 cykit_resolve policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_resolve with
57 the tightest access possible.
58 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
62 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
63 default.
64 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
66 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
70 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
71 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
73 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
77 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
78 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
80 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
84 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
85 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
87 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
91 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
92 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
94 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
98 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
99 default.
100 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
102 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
106 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
107 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
109 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
113 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
114 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
116 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
120 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
121 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
123
127 The SELinux process type policykit_resolve_t can manage files labeled
128 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
129 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
130 permissions.
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 policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to
167 setup their policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possi‐
168 ble.
169 The following file types are defined for policykit_resolve:
171 policykit_resolve_exec_t
175 - Set files with the policykit_resolve_exec_t type, if you want to
177 transition an executable to the policykit_resolve_t domain.
178 Paths:
181 /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*, /usr/lib/poli‐
182 cykit/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*
183 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
186 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
187 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
188 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
189
192 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
193 mappings.
194 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
196 process type is permissive.
197 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
199 icy modules.
200 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
202 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
205 icy settings.
