6 staff_consolehelper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 staff_consolehelper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the staff_consolehelper processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The staff_consolehelper processes execute with the staff_console‐
14 helper_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes run‐
15 ning by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep staff_consolehelper_t
20
21
22
24 The staff_consolehelper_t SELinux type can be entered via the console‐
25 helper_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the staff_consolehelper_t domain are
28 the following:
29
30 /usr/bin/consolehelper
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 staff_consolehelper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
40 their staff_consolehelper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for staff_consolehelper:
43
44 staff_consolehelper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a staff_consolehelper_t can be used to make
47 the process type staff_consolehelper_t permissive. SELinux does not
48 deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)
49 messages are still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 staff_consolehelper policy is extremely flexible and has several bool‐
55 eans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run staff_console‐
56 helper with the 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

118 The SELinux process type staff_consolehelper_t can manage files labeled
119 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
120 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
121 permissions.

178 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
179 mappings.
180
181 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
182 process type is permissive.

185 icy modules.
186
