6 colord_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the colord pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the colord processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The colord processes execute with the colord_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 colord_t
20
21
22
24 The colord_t SELinux type can be entered via the colord_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the colord_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord, /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord-sane,
30 /usr/libexec/colord, /usr/lib/colord/colord, /usr/libexec/colord-sane,
31 /usr/lib/colord/colord-sane
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 colord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their colord
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for colord:
44
45 colord_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a colord_t can be used to make the process
48 type colord_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. colord
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run colord with the tightest access possible.

272 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
273 type.
274
275 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
276
277 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
278 SELinux colord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
279 colord processes in as secure a method as possible.
280
281 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
282
283
284 colord policy stores data with multiple different file context types
285 under the /var/lib/color directory. If you would like to store the
286 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
287 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
288 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
289
290 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/color /srv/color
291 restorecon -R -v /srv/color
292
293 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
294
295 SELinux defines the file context types for the colord, if you wanted to
296 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
297 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
298 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
299
300 semanage fcontext -a -t colord_var_lib_t '/srv/mycolord_content(/.*)?'
301 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycolord_content
302
303 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
304 match multiple files.
305
306 The following file types are defined for colord:
307
308
309
310 colord_exec_t
311
312 - Set files with the colord_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
313 executable to the colord_t domain.
314
315
316 Paths:
317 /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord, /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord-sane,
318 /usr/libexec/colord, /usr/lib/colord/colord, /usr/libexec/colord-
319 sane, /usr/lib/colord/colord-sane
320
321
322 colord_tmp_t
323
324 - Set files with the colord_tmp_t type, if you want to store colord
325 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
326
327
328
329 colord_tmpfs_t
330
331 - Set files with the colord_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store colord
332 files on a tmpfs file system.
333
334
335
336 colord_unit_file_t
337
338 - Set files with the colord_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
339 files as colord unit content.
340
341
342
343 colord_var_lib_t
344
345 - Set files with the colord_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
346 colord files under the /var/lib directory.
347
348
349 Paths:
350 /var/lib/color(/.*)?, /var/lib/colord(/.*)?
351
352
353 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
354 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
355 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
356 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
357
358
360 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
361 mappings.
362
363 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
364 process type is permissive.
365
366 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
367 icy modules.
368
369 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
370
371
372 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
373 icy settings.
