6 cronjob_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cronjob pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cronjob processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The cronjob processes execute with the cronjob_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 cronjob_t
20
21
22
24 The cronjob_t SELinux type can be entered via the user_cron_spool_t,
25 shell_exec_t file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the cronjob_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /var/spool/at(/.*)?, /var/spool/cron, /bin/d?ash, /bin/zsh.*,
31 /bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/zsh.*, /bin/esh,
32 /bin/mksh, /bin/sash, /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash, /bin/bash, /bin/fish,
33 /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /usr/bin/sash, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/yash,
34 /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/bash, /sbin/nologin,
35 /usr/sbin/sesh, /usr/bin/bash2, /usr/sbin/smrsh, /usr/bin/scponly,
36 /usr/sbin/nologin, /usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/sbin/scponlyc, /usr/bin/git-
37 shell, /usr/libexec/sudo/sesh, /usr/bin/cockpit-bridge,
38 /usr/libexec/cockpit-agent, /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell

41 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
42 system
43
44 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
45
46 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
47 cronjob policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cronjob
48 processes in as secure a method as possible.
49
50 The following process types are defined for cronjob:
51
52 cronjob_t
53
54 Note: semanage permissive -a cronjob_t can be used to make the process
55 type cronjob_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
56 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
57 ated.
58
59
61 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cronjob
62 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
63 manipulate the policy and run cronjob with the tightest access possi‐
64 ble.
65
66
67
68 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
69 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
70 default.
71
72 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
77 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78 ean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
85 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96
97
98
99 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
101 default.
102
103 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118
119
120
121 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
122 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
125
126
127
129 The SELinux process type cronjob_t can manage files labeled with the
130 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
131 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
132
133 user_home_t
134
135 /home/[^/]+/.+
136
137 user_tmp_t
138
139 /dev/shm/mono.*
140 /var/run/user(/.*)?
141 /tmp/.X11-unix(/.*)?
142 /tmp/.ICE-unix(/.*)?
143 /dev/shm/pulse-shm.*
144 /tmp/.X0-lock
145 /tmp/hsperfdata_root
146 /var/tmp/hsperfdata_root
147 /home/[^/]+/tmp
148 /home/[^/]+/.tmp
149 /tmp/gconfd-[^/]+
150
151
153 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
154 mappings.
155
156 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
157 process type is permissive.
158
159 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
160 icy modules.
161
162 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
163
164
165 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
166 icy settings.
