6 chroot_user_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 chroot_user processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the chroot_user processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The chroot_user processes execute with the chroot_user_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 chroot_user_t
20
21
22
24 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
25 system
26
27 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
28
29 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
30 chroot_user policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
31 chroot_user processes in as secure a method as possible.
32
33 The following process types are defined for chroot_user:
34
35 chroot_user_t
36
37 Note: semanage permissive -a chroot_user_t can be used to make the
38 process type chroot_user_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
39 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
40 still generated.
41
42
44 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
45 chroot_user policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
46 allow you to manipulate the policy and run chroot_user with the tight‐
47 est access possible.

51 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
52 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
53 default.
54
55 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
56
57
58
59 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
60 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
61 ean. Enabled by default.

66
67 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
68 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
69 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
76 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 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.

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
104 If you want to allow ssh with chroot env to read and write files in the
105 user home directories, you must turn on the ssh_chroot_rw_homedirs
106 boolean. Disabled by default.
107
108 setsebool -P ssh_chroot_rw_homedirs 1
109
110
111
112 If you want to allow a user to login as an unconfined domain, you must
113 turn on the unconfined_login boolean. Enabled by default.
114
115 setsebool -P unconfined_login 1
116
117
118
119 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the
120 use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
121
122 setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
123
124
125
126 If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the
127 use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
128
129 setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1
130
131
132
133 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
134 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
135
136 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
137
138
139
140 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
141 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
142
143 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
144
145
146
148 The SELinux process type chroot_user_t can manage files labeled with
149 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
150 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
151 missions.

174 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
175 mappings.
176
177 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
178 process type is permissive.
179
180 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
181 icy modules.
182
183 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
184
185
186 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
187 icy settings.
