6 publicfile_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the publicfile
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the publicfile processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The publicfile processes execute with the publicfile_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 publicfile_t
20
21
22
24 The publicfile_t SELinux type can be entered via the publicfile_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the publicfile_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/ftpd, /usr/bin/httpd
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 publicfile policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pub‐
40 licfile processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for publicfile:
43
44 publicfile_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a publicfile_t can be used to make the
47 process type publicfile_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 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. public‐
54 file policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run publicfile with the tightest
56 access possible.

109
110
111
112 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
113 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
114
115 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
116
117
118
119 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
120 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
121 default.
122
123 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
124
125
126
127 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
128 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
129
130 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
131
132
133
134 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
135 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
136
137 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
138
139
140
142 The SELinux process type publicfile_t can manage files labeled with the
143 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
144 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

183 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
184 type.
185
186 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
187
188 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
189 SELinux publicfile policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
190 their publicfile processes in as secure a method as possible.
191
192 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
193
194 SELinux defines the file context types for the publicfile, if you
195 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
196 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
197 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
198
199 semanage fcontext -a -t publicfile_content_t '/srv/mypublicfile_con‐
200 tent(/.*)?'
201 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypublicfile_content
202
203 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
204 match multiple files.
205
206 The following file types are defined for publicfile:
207
208
209
210 publicfile_content_t
211
212 - Set files with the publicfile_content_t type, if you want to treat
213 the files as publicfile content.
214
215
216
217 publicfile_exec_t
218
219 - Set files with the publicfile_exec_t type, if you want to transition
220 an executable to the publicfile_t domain.
221
222
223 Paths:
224 /usr/bin/ftpd, /usr/bin/httpd
225
226
227 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
228 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
229 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
230 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
231
232
234 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
235 mappings.
236
237 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
238 process type is permissive.
239
240 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
241 icy modules.
242
243 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
244
245
246 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
247 icy settings.
