6 nagios_system_plugin_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 nagios_system_plugin processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the nagios_system_plugin processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The nagios_system_plugin processes execute with the nagios_system_plug‐
14 in_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by
15 executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep nagios_system_plugin_t
20
21
22
24 The nagios_system_plugin_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 nagios_system_plugin_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the nagios_system_plugin_t domain are
28 the following:
29
30 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_log, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
31 ins/check_load, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_mrtg,
32 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_swap, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
33 ins/check_wave, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_procs,
34 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_users, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
35 ins/check_flexlm, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_nagios,
36 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_nwstat, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
37 ins/check_overcr, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_sensors,
38 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_ifstatus, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
39 ins/check_mrtgtraf, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_ifoperstatus

42 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
43 system
44
45 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
46
47 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
48 nagios_system_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
49 their nagios_system_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
50
51 The following process types are defined for nagios_system_plugin:
52
53 nagios_system_plugin_t
54
55 Note: semanage permissive -a nagios_system_plugin_t can be used to make
56 the process type nagios_system_plugin_t permissive. SELinux does not
57 deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)
58 messages are still generated.
59
60
62 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
63 nagios_system_plugin policy is extremely flexible and has several bool‐
64 eans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run nagios_sys‐
65 tem_plugin with the tightest access possible.
66
67
68
69 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
70 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
71 default.
72
73 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
78 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
79 ean. Enabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
82
83
84
85 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
86 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
87 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
88
89 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
90
91
92
93 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
94 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
95
96 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
97
98
99
100 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
101 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
102 default.
103
104 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
105
106
107
108 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
109 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
110
111 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
112
113
114
115 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
116 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
117
118 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
119
120
121
123 The SELinux process type nagios_system_plugin_t can manage files
124 labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the
125 default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need
126 to have DAC permissions.
127
128 nagios_system_plugin_tmp_t
129
130
131
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 nagios_system_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to
140 setup their nagios_system_plugin processes in as secure a method as
141 possible.
142
143 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
144
145 SELinux defines the file context types for the nagios_system_plugin, if
146 you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need
147 to execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
148 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
149
150 semanage fcontext -a -t nagios_system_plugin_tmp_t '/srv/mynagios_sys‐
151 tem_plugin_content(/.*)?'
152 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynagios_system_plugin_content
153
154 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
155 match multiple files.
156
157 The following file types are defined for nagios_system_plugin:
158
159
160
161 nagios_system_plugin_exec_t
162
163 - Set files with the nagios_system_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to
164 transition an executable to the nagios_system_plugin_t domain.
165
166
167 Paths:
168 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_log, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plug‐
169 ins/check_load, /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_mrtg,
170 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_swap,
171 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_wave,
172 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_procs,
173 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_users,
174 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_flexlm,
175 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_nagios,
176 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_nwstat,
177 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_overcr,
178 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_sensors,
179 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_ifstatus,
180 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_mrtgtraf,
181 /usr/lib(64)?/nagios/plugins/check_ifoperstatus
182
183
184 nagios_system_plugin_tmp_t
185
186 - Set files with the nagios_system_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to
187 store nagios system plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
188
189
190
191 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
192 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
193 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
194 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
195
196
198 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
199 mappings.
200
201 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
202 process type is permissive.
203
204 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
205 icy modules.
206
207 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
208
209
210 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
211 icy settings.
