7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the auditctl processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The auditctl processes execute with the auditctl_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 auditctl_t
20
21
22
24 The auditctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the auditctl_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the auditctl_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl
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 auditctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their auditctl
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for auditctl:
43
44 auditctl_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a auditctl_t can be used to make the process
47 type auditctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 auditctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run auditctl 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 daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
68 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
69 default.
70
71 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
76 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
77 ean. Enabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
80
81
82
83 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
84 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
85 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
92 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
95
96
97
98 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
99 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
100 default.
101
102 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
103
104
105
106 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
107 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
110
111
112
113 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
114 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
115
116 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
117
118
119
121 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
122 type.
123
124 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
125
126 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
127 SELinux auditctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
128 auditctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
129
130 The following file types are defined for auditctl:
131
132
133
134 auditctl_exec_t
135
136 - Set files with the auditctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
137 executable to the auditctl_t domain.
138
139
140 Paths:
141 /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl
142
143
144 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
145 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
146 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
147 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
148
149
151 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
152 mappings.
153
154 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
155 process type is permissive.
156
157 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
158 icy modules.
159
160 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
161
162
163 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
164 icy settings.
