NAME

6       gconfd_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the gconfd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  gconfd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  gconfd  processes  execute with the gconfd_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 gconfd_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  gconfd_t  SELinux  type  can be entered via the gconfd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the gconfd_t domain are the following:

PROCESS TYPES

32       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33       system
34
35       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
38       gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their  gconfd
39       processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41       The following process types are defined for gconfd:
42
43       gconfd_t, gconfdefaultsm_t
44
45       Note:  semanage  permissive -a gconfd_t can be used to make the process
46       type gconfd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny  access  to  permissive
47       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48       ated.

BOOLEANS

52       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.   gconfd
53       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54       manipulate the policy and run gconfd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or  debugging  any  other
59       processes,  you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
60       default.
61
62       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
63
64
65
66       If you want to allow any process  to  mmap  any  file  on  system  with
67       attribute  file_type,  you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
68       ean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel  is
75       executed  with  systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
76       domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
83       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
86
87
88
89       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
90       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
91       default.
92
93       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
94
95
96
97       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
98       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
99
100       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
101
102
103
104       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
105       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
106
107       setsebool -P global_ssp 1
108

MANAGED FILES

112       The  SELinux  process  type  gconfd_t can manage files labeled with the
113       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
114       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
115
116       gconf_home_t
117
118            /root/.local.*
119            /root/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
120            /home/[^/]+/.local.*
121            /home/[^/]+/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
122
123       gconf_tmp_t
124
125            /tmp/gconfd-[^/]+/.*
126
127

FILE CONTEXTS

129       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
130       type.
131
132       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
133
134       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
135       SELinux  gconfd  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
136       gconfd processes in as secure a method as possible.
137
138       The following file types are defined for gconfd:
139
140
141
142       gconfd_exec_t
143
144       - Set files with the gconfd_exec_t type, if you want to  transition  an
145       executable to the gconfd_t domain.
146
147
148
149       gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
150
151       - Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
152       tion an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
153
154
155
156       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
157       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
158       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
159       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

161

COMMANDS

163       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
164       mappings.
165
166       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
167       process type is permissive.
168
169       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
170       icy modules.
171
172       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
173
174
175       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
176       icy settings.
