6 showmount_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the showmount
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the showmount processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The showmount processes execute with the showmount_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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep showmount_t
20
21
22
24 The showmount_t SELinux type can be entered via the showmount_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the showmount_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/showmount
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 showmount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their show‐
40 mount processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for showmount:
43
44 showmount_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a showmount_t can be used to make the
47 process type showmount_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. show‐
54 mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run showmount with the tightest access
56 possible.
57
58
59
60 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
64 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
65
66
67
68 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
72 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
73
74
75
76 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
80 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
81
82
83
84 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
87 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
88
89
90
91 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
95 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
96
97
98
99 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
102 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
103
104
105
106 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
107 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
110
111
112
113 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
116 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
117
118
119
121 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
122 type.
123
124 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
125
126 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
127 SELinux showmount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
128 showmount processes in as secure a method as possible.
129
130 The following file types are defined for showmount:
131
132
133
134 showmount_exec_t
135
136 - Set files with the showmount_exec_t type, if you want to transition
137 an executable to the showmount_t domain.
138
139
140
141 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
142 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
143 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
144 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
145
146
148 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
149 mappings.
150
151 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
152 process type is permissive.
153
154 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
155 icy modules.
156
157 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
158
159
160 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
161 icy settings.
