6 postfix_pickup_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the post‐
7 fix_pickup processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the postfix_pickup processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The postfix_pickup processes execute with the postfix_pickup_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 postfix_pickup_t
20
21
22
24 The postfix_pickup_t SELinux type can be entered via the post‐
25 fix_pickup_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the postfix_pickup_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/libexec/postfix/pickup
31
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 postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for postfix_pickup:
43
44 postfix_pickup_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a postfix_pickup_t can be used to make the
47 process type postfix_pickup_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. post‐
54 fix_pickup policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run postfix_pickup with the
56 tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

73
74
75
76 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
77 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78 ean. Enabled by default.
79

81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
85 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96
97
98
99 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
101 default.
102
103 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118
119
120
121 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
122 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
125
126
127
128 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
129 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
130
131 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
132
133
134
135 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
136 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
137
138 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
139
140
141
143 The SELinux process type postfix_pickup_t can manage files labeled with
144 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
145 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
146 missions.
147
148 anon_inodefs_t
149
150
151 postfix_pickup_tmp_t
152
153
154 postfix_var_run_t
155
156 /var/spool/postfix/pid/.*
157
158
160 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
161 type.
162
163 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
164
165 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
166 SELinux postfix_pickup policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
167 their postfix_pickup processes in as secure a method as possible.
168
169 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
170
171 SELinux defines the file context types for the postfix_pickup, if you
172 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
173 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
174 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
175
176 semanage fcontext -a -t postfix_pickup_tmp_t '/srv/mypost‐
177 fix_pickup_content(/.*)?'
178 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypostfix_pickup_content
179
180 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
181 match multiple files.
182
183 The following file types are defined for postfix_pickup:
184
185
186
187 postfix_pickup_exec_t
188
189 - Set files with the postfix_pickup_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
190 tion an executable to the postfix_pickup_t domain.
191
192
193
194 postfix_pickup_tmp_t
195
196 - Set files with the postfix_pickup_tmp_t type, if you want to store
197 postfix pickup temporary files in the /tmp directories.
198
199
200
201 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
202 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
203 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
204 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
205
206
208 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
209 mappings.
210
211 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
212 process type is permissive.
213
214 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
215 icy modules.
216
217 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
218
219
220 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
221 icy settings.
