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

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

87
88
89
90 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
91 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
92 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
93 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the allow_execheap
94 boolean. Disabled by default.
95
96 setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
97
98
99
100 If you want to allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as
101 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable

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

112
113 setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
114
115
116
117 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
118 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
119 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
120 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execstack
121 boolean. Enabled by default.
122
123 setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
124
125

158
159 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
160
161
162
163 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
164 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
165
166 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
167
168
169
170 If you want to allow certain domains to map low memory in the kernel,
171 you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
172
173 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
174
175
176
177 If you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
178 policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values. Set this
179 to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the

190
191
192
194 The SELinux process type svnserve_t can manage files labeled with the
195 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
196 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
197
198 file_type
199
200 all files on the system
201
202
204 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
205 type.
206
207 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
208
209 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
210 SELinux svnserve policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
211 svnserve processes in as secure a method as possible.
212
213 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
214
215
216 svnserve policy stores data with multiple different file context types
217 under the /var/run/svnserve directory. If you would like to store the
218 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
219 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
220 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
221
222 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/svnserve /srv/svnserve
223 restorecon -R -v /srv/svnserve
224
225 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
226
227 SELinux defines the file context types for the svnserve, if you wanted
228 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
229 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
230 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
231
232 semanage fcontext -a -t svnserve_var_run_t '/srv/mysvnserve_con‐
233 tent(/.*)?'
234 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysvnserve_content
235
236 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
237 match multiple files.
238
239 The following file types are defined for svnserve:
240
241
242
243 svnserve_content_t
244
245 - Set files with the svnserve_content_t type, if you want to treat the
246 files as svnserve content.
247
248
249 Paths:
250 /var/subversion/repo(/.*)?, /var/lib/subversion/repo(/.*)?
251
252
253 svnserve_exec_t
254
255 - Set files with the svnserve_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
256 executable to the svnserve_t domain.
257
258
259
260 svnserve_initrc_exec_t
261
262 - Set files with the svnserve_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
263 sition an executable to the svnserve_initrc_t domain.
264
265
266
267 svnserve_var_run_t
268
269 - Set files with the svnserve_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
270 svnserve files under the /run or /var/run directory.
271
272
273 Paths:
274 /var/run/svnserve.pid, /var/run/svnserve(/.*)?
275
276
277 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
278 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
279 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
280 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
281
282
284 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
285 mappings.
286
287 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
288 process type is permissive.
289
290 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
291 icy modules.
292
293 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
294
295
296 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
297 icy settings.
