6 devicekit_power_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 devicekit_power processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the devicekit_power processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12 The devicekit_power processes execute with the devicekit_power_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep devicekit_power_t
20
24 The devicekit_power_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 devicekit_power_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the devicekit_power_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/upowerd, /usr/lib/upower/upowerd, /usr/libexec/devkit-
31 power-daemon
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 devicekit_power policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 devicekit_power processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for devicekit_power:
44 devicekit_power_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a devicekit_power_t can be used to make the
48 process type devicekit_power_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 devicekit_power policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run devicekit_power with
57 the tightest access possible.
58 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
62 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
63 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

198 secure_mode_policyload boolean. Enabled by default.
199 setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1
201 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
205 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
206 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
207 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
208 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.

236
240 The SELinux process type devicekit_power_t can manage files labeled
241 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
242 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
243 permissions.
244 file_type
246 all files on the system
248
251 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
252 type.
253 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
255 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
257 SELinux devicekit_power policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
258 their devicekit_power processes in as secure a method as possible.
259 The following file types are defined for devicekit_power:
261 devicekit_power_exec_t
265 - Set files with the devicekit_power_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
267 sition an executable to the devicekit_power_t domain.
268 Paths:
271 /usr/libexec/upowerd, /usr/lib/upower/upowerd,
272 /usr/libexec/devkit-power-daemon
273 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
276 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
277 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
278 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
279
282 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
283 mappings.
284 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
286 process type is permissive.
287 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
289 icy modules.
290 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
292 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
295 icy settings.
