NAME

6       load_policy_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_pol‐
7       icy processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep load_policy_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  load_policy_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the load_pol‐
25       icy_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the load_policy_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       load_policy  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users to setup their
40       load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for load_policy:
43
44       load_policy_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a load_policy_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type load_policy_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       load_policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run load_policy with the tight‐
56       est access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or  debugging  any  other
61       processes,  you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
62       default.
63
64       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow any process  to  mmap  any  file  on  system  with
69       attribute  file_type,  you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
70       ean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel  is
77       executed  with  systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
78       domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80       setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
81
82
83
84       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
85       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
88
89
90
91       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
92       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
93       default.
94
95       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
96
97
98
99       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
100       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
101
102       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
103
104
105
106       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
107       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
108
109       setsebool -P global_ssp 1
110
111
112
113       If  you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
114       policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values.  Set  this
115       to  true  and  you  have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the
116       secure_mode_policyload boolean. Enabled by default.
117
118       setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1

MANAGED FILES

123       The SELinux process type load_policy_t can manage  files  labeled  with
124       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
125       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
126       missions.
127
128       boolean_type

131

FILE CONTEXTS

133       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
134       type.
135
136       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
137
138       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
139       SELinux  load_policy  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
140       their load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
141
142       The following file types are defined for load_policy:
143
144
145
146       load_policy_exec_t
147
148       - Set files with the load_policy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
149       an executable to the load_policy_t domain.
150
151
152       Paths:
153            /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
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.
