6 hwloc_dhwd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hwloc_dhwd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hwloc_dhwd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The hwloc_dhwd processes execute with the hwloc_dhwd_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep hwloc_dhwd_t
20
24 The hwloc_dhwd_t SELinux type can be entered via the hwloc_dhwd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the hwloc_dhwd_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/sbin/hwloc-dump-hwdata
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 hwloc_dhwd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 hwloc_dhwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for hwloc_dhwd:
43 hwloc_dhwd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a hwloc_dhwd_t can be used to make the
47 process type hwloc_dhwd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 hwloc_dhwd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run hwloc_dhwd with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
61 you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
62 setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
64 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
68 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
69 default.
70 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
72 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
76 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
77 ean. Enabled by default.
78 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
80 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
84 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
85 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
86 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
88 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
92 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
93 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
95 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
99 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
100 default.
101 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
103 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
107 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
108 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
110 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
114 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
115 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
117
121 The SELinux process type hwloc_dhwd_t can manage files labeled with the
122 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
123 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
124 hwloc_var_run_t
126 /var/run/hwloc(/.*)?
128
131 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
132 type.
133 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
135 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
137 SELinux hwloc_dhwd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
138 their hwloc_dhwd processes in as secure a method as possible.
139 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
141 SELinux defines the file context types for the hwloc_dhwd, if you
143 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
144 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
145 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
146 semanage fcontext -a -t hwloc_dhwd_unit_t '/srv/myhwloc_dhwd_con‐
148 tent(/.*)?'
149 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhwloc_dhwd_content
150 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
152 match multiple files.
153 The following file types are defined for hwloc_dhwd:
155 hwloc_dhwd_exec_t
159 - Set files with the hwloc_dhwd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
161 an executable to the hwloc_dhwd_t domain.
162 hwloc_dhwd_unit_t
166 - Set files with the hwloc_dhwd_unit_t type, if you want to treat the
168 files as hwloc dhwd unit data.
169 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
173 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
174 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
175 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
176
179 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
180 mappings.
181 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
183 process type is permissive.
184 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
186 icy modules.
187 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
189 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
192 icy settings.
