6 usbmodules_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the usbmodules
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the usbmodules processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The usbmodules processes execute with the usbmodules_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 usbmodules_t
20
21
22
24 The usbmodules_t SELinux type can be entered via the usbmodules_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the usbmodules_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /sbin/usbmodules, /usr/sbin/usbmodules
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 usbmodules policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their usb‐
40 modules processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for usbmodules:
43
44 usbmodules_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a usbmodules_t can be used to make the
47 process type usbmodules_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. usbmod‐
54 ules policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run usbmodules with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
61 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63
64 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
69 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
76 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
83 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
84 default.
85
86 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
87
88
89
90 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
91 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
94
95
96
97 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
98 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
101
102
103
105 The SELinux process type usbmodules_t can manage files labeled with the
106 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
107 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

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