6 abrt_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 abrt_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the abrt_helper processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The abrt_helper processes execute with the abrt_helper_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 abrt_helper_t
20
21
22
24 The abrt_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 abrt_helper_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the abrt_helper_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/abrt-pyhook-helper
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 abrt_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 abrt_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for abrt_helper:
43
44 abrt_helper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a abrt_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type abrt_helper_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.
54 abrt_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run abrt_helper with the tight‐
56 est 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.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type abrt_helper_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.
101
102 abrt_var_cache_t
103
104 /var/tmp/abrt(/.*)?
105 /var/cache/abrt(/.*)?
106 /var/spool/abrt(/.*)?
107 /var/spool/debug(/.*)?
108 /var/cache/abrt-di(/.*)?
109 /var/spool/rhsm/debug(/.*)?
110
111
113 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
114 type.
115
116 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
117
118 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
119 SELinux abrt_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
120 their abrt_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
121
122 The following file types are defined for abrt_helper:
123
124
125
126 abrt_helper_exec_t
127
128 - Set files with the abrt_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
129 an executable to the abrt_helper_t domain.
130
131
132
133 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
134 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
135 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
136 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
137
138
140 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
141 mappings.
142
143 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
144 process type is permissive.
145
146 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
147 icy modules.
148
149 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
150
151
152 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
153 icy settings.
