6 chronyc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the chronyc pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the chronyc processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The chronyc processes execute with the chronyc_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep chronyc_t
20
21
22
24 The chronyc_t SELinux type can be entered via the chronyc_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the chronyc_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/chronyc
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 chronyc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their chronyc
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for chronyc:
43
44 chronyc_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a chronyc_t can be used to make the process
47 type chronyc_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. chronyc
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run chronyc with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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 The SELinux process type chronyc_t can manage files labeled with the
122 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
123 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
124
125 chronyd_keys_t
126
127 /etc/chrony.keys.*

129 chronyd_tmp_t

153 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
154 type.
155
156 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
157
158 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
159 SELinux chronyc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
160 chronyc processes in as secure a method as possible.
161
162 The following file types are defined for chronyc:
163
164
165
166 chronyc_exec_t
167
168 - Set files with the chronyc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
169 executable to the chronyc_t domain.
170
171
172
173 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
174 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
175 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
176 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
177
178
180 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
181 mappings.
182
183 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
184 process type is permissive.
185
186 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
187 icy modules.
188
189 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
190
191
192 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
193 icy settings.
