6 dnsmasq_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dnsmasq pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dnsmasq processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The dnsmasq processes execute with the dnsmasq_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 dnsmasq_t
20
21
22
24 The dnsmasq_t SELinux type can be entered via the dnsmasq_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the dnsmasq_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq
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 dnsmasq policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dnsmasq
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for dnsmasq:
43
44 dnsmasq_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a dnsmasq_t can be used to make the process
47 type dnsmasq_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. dnsmasq
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run dnsmasq with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.

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 dnsmasq policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
279 dnsmasq processes in as secure a method as possible.
280
281 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
282
283 SELinux defines the file context types for the dnsmasq, if you wanted
284 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
285 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
286 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
287
288 semanage fcontext -a -t dnsmasq_var_run_t '/srv/mydnsmasq_con‐
289 tent(/.*)?'
290 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydnsmasq_content
291
292 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
293 match multiple files.
294
295 The following file types are defined for dnsmasq:
296
297
298
299 dnsmasq_etc_t
300
301 - Set files with the dnsmasq_etc_t type, if you want to store dnsmasq
302 files in the /etc directories.
303
304
305 Paths:
306 /etc/dnsmasq.d(/.*)?, /etc/dnsmasq.conf
307
308
309 dnsmasq_exec_t
310
311 - Set files with the dnsmasq_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
312 executable to the dnsmasq_t domain.
313
314
315
316 dnsmasq_initrc_exec_t
317
318 - Set files with the dnsmasq_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
319 tion an executable to the dnsmasq_initrc_t domain.
320
321
322
323 dnsmasq_lease_t
324
325 - Set files with the dnsmasq_lease_t type, if you want to treat the
326 files as dnsmasq lease data.
327
328
329 Paths:
330 /var/lib/dnsmasq(/.*)?, /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
331
332
333 dnsmasq_tmp_t
334
335 - Set files with the dnsmasq_tmp_t type, if you want to store dnsmasq
336 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
337
338
339
340 dnsmasq_unit_file_t
341
342 - Set files with the dnsmasq_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
343 files as dnsmasq unit content.
344
345
346
347 dnsmasq_var_log_t
348
349 - Set files with the dnsmasq_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
350 data as dnsmasq var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
351 tory.
352
353
354
355 dnsmasq_var_run_t
356
357 - Set files with the dnsmasq_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
358 dnsmasq files under the /run or /var/run directory.
359
360
361 Paths:
362 /var/run/dnsmasq.*, /var/run/libvirt/network(/.*)?
363
364
365 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
366 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
367 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
368 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
369
370
372 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
373 mappings.
374
375 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
376 process type is permissive.
377
378 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
379 icy modules.
380
381 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
382
383
384 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
385 icy settings.
