6 load_policy_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_pol‐
7 icy processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep load_policy_t
20
21
22
24 The load_policy_t SELinux type can be entered via the load_pol‐
25 icy_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the load_policy_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
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 load_policy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for load_policy:
43
44 load_policy_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a load_policy_t can be used to make the
47 process type load_policy_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 load_policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run load_policy with the tight‐
56 est 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 sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
68 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
75 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
76 default.
77
78 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
83 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
90 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
97 policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values. Set this
98 to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the
99 secure_mode_policyload boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101 setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1
102
103
104
106 The SELinux process type load_policy_t can manage files labeled with
107 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
108 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
109 missions.

142 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
143 type.
144
145 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
146
147 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
148 SELinux load_policy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
149 their load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
150
151 The following file types are defined for load_policy:
152
153
154
155 load_policy_exec_t
156
157 - Set files with the load_policy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
158 an executable to the load_policy_t domain.
159
160
161 Paths:
162 /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
163
164
165 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
166 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
167 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
168 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
169
170
172 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
173 mappings.
174
175 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
176 process type is permissive.
177
178 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
179 icy modules.
180
181 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
182
183
184 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
185 icy settings.
