NAME

6       mozilla_plugin_selinux   -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy  for  the
7       mozilla_plugin processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mozilla_plugin processes via flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mozilla_plugin processes execute with the mozilla_plugin_t SELinux
14       type. You can check if you have these processes  running  by  executing
15       the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep mozilla_plugin_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  mozilla_plugin_t SELinux type can be entered via the mozilla_plug‐
25       in_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mozilla_plugin_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/lib/xulrunner[^/]*/plugin-container,        /usr/lib/nspluginwrap‐
31       per/npviewer.bin,    /usr/bin/nspluginscan,    /usr/bin/nspluginviewer,
32       /usr/libexec/WebKitPluginProcess, /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container
33

PROCESS TYPES

35       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36       system
37
38       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
41       mozilla_plugin  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
42       mozilla_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44       The following process types are defined for mozilla_plugin:
45
46       mozilla_plugin_t, mozilla_plugin_config_t
47
48       Note: semanage permissive -a mozilla_plugin_t can be used to  make  the
49       process  type mozilla_plugin_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
50       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
51       still generated.
52
53

BOOLEANS

55       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
56       mozilla_plugin policy is extremely flexible and  has  several  booleans
57       that allow you to manipulate the policy and run mozilla_plugin with the
58       tightest access possible.

234       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
235       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐

FILE CONTEXTS

351       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
352       type.
353
354       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
355
356       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
357       SELinux  mozilla_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
358       their mozilla_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
359
360       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
361
362       SELinux defines the file context types for the mozilla_plugin,  if  you
363       wanted  to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
364       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate  labeling  and  then
365       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
366
367       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t '/srv/mymozilla_plug‐
368       in_content(/.*)?'
369       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymozilla_plugin_content
370
371       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
372       match multiple files.
373
374       The following file types are defined for mozilla_plugin:
375
376
377
378       mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t
379
380       -  Set files with the mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t type, if you want to
381       transition an executable to the mozilla_plugin_config_t domain.
382
383
384
385       mozilla_plugin_exec_t
386
387       - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
388       tion an executable to the mozilla_plugin_t domain.
389
390
391       Paths:
392            /usr/lib/xulrunner[^/]*/plugin-container,   /usr/lib/nspluginwrap‐
393            per/npviewer.bin, /usr/bin/nspluginscan,  /usr/bin/nspluginviewer,
394            /usr/libexec/WebKitPluginProcess,     /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-con‐
395            tainer
396
397
398       mozilla_plugin_rw_t
399
400       - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
401       files as mozilla plugin read/write content.
402
403
404
405       mozilla_plugin_tmp_t
406
407       -  Set  files  with the mozilla_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store
408       mozilla plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
409
410
411
412       mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t
413
414       - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to  store
415       mozilla plugin files on a tmpfs file system.
416
417
418
419       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
420       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
421       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
422       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
423
424

COMMANDS

426       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
427       mappings.
428
429       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
430       process type is permissive.
431
432       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
433       icy modules.
434
435       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
436
437
438       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
439       icy settings.
