6 podsleuth_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the podsleuth
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the podsleuth processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The podsleuth processes execute with the podsleuth_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep podsleuth_t
20
24 The podsleuth_t SELinux type can be entered via the podsleuth_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the podsleuth_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/bin/podsleuth, /usr/libexec/hal-podsleuth
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 podsleuth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pod‐
40 sleuth processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for podsleuth:
43 podsleuth_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a podsleuth_t can be used to make the
47 process type podsleuth_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. pod‐
54 sleuth policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run podsleuth with the tightest access
56 possible.
57 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 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
65 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 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
73 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 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
81 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 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
88 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 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
96 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
103 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
107 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
108 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
110 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
114 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
115 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
117
121 The SELinux process type podsleuth_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 podsleuth_cache_t
126 /var/cache/podsleuth(/.*)?
128 podsleuth_tmp_t
130 podsleuth_tmpfs_t
133
137 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
138 type.
139 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
141 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
143 SELinux podsleuth policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
144 podsleuth processes in as secure a method as possible.
145 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
147 SELinux defines the file context types for the podsleuth, if you wanted
149 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
150 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
151 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
152 semanage fcontext -a -t podsleuth_tmpfs_t '/srv/mypodsleuth_con‐
154 tent(/.*)?'
155 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypodsleuth_content
156 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
158 match multiple files.
159 The following file types are defined for podsleuth:
161 podsleuth_cache_t
165 - Set files with the podsleuth_cache_t type, if you want to store the
167 files under the /var/cache directory.
168 podsleuth_exec_t
172 - Set files with the podsleuth_exec_t type, if you want to transition
174 an executable to the podsleuth_t domain.
175 Paths:
178 /usr/bin/podsleuth, /usr/libexec/hal-podsleuth
179 podsleuth_tmp_t
182 - Set files with the podsleuth_tmp_t type, if you want to store pod‐
184 sleuth temporary files in the /tmp directories.
185 podsleuth_tmpfs_t
189 - Set files with the podsleuth_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store pod‐
191 sleuth files on a tmpfs file system.
192 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
196 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
197 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
198 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
199
202 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
203 mappings.
204 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
206 process type is permissive.
207 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
209 icy modules.
210 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
212 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
215 icy settings.
