6 afs_ptserver_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 afs_ptserver processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the afs_ptserver processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The afs_ptserver processes execute with the afs_ptserver_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep afs_ptserver_t
20
21
22
24 The afs_ptserver_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 afs_ptserver_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the afs_ptserver_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/afs/bin/ptserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/ptserver
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 afs_ptserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 afs_ptserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for afs_ptserver:
43
44 afs_ptserver_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a afs_ptserver_t can be used to make the
47 process type afs_ptserver_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 afs_ptserver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run afs_ptserver with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
61 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
62 default.
63
64 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
69 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
70 ean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
77 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
78 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
85 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
92 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
93 default.
94
95 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
96
97
98
99 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
100 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
101
102 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
103
104
105
106 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
107 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
110
111
112
114 The SELinux process type afs_ptserver_t can manage files labeled with
115 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
116 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
117 missions.
118
119 afs_logfile_t
120
121 /usr/afs/logs(/.*)?
122
123 afs_pt_db_t
124
125 /usr/afs/db/pr.*
126
127
129 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
130 type.
131
132 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
133
134 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
135 SELinux afs_ptserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
136 their afs_ptserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
137
138 The following file types are defined for afs_ptserver:
139
140
141
142 afs_ptserver_exec_t
143
144 - Set files with the afs_ptserver_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
145 tion an executable to the afs_ptserver_t domain.
146
147
148 Paths:
149 /usr/afs/bin/ptserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/ptserver
150
151
152 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
153 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
154 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
155 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
156
157
159 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
160 mappings.
161
162 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
163 process type is permissive.
164
165 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
166 icy modules.
167
168 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
169
170
171 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
172 icy settings.
