6 firewallgui_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the firewall‐
7 gui processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the firewallgui processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The firewallgui processes execute with the firewallgui_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep firewallgui_t
20
24 The firewallgui_t SELinux type can be entered via the firewall‐
25 gui_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the firewallgui_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/share/system-config-firewall/system-config-firewall-mechanism.py
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 firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fire‐
40 wallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for firewallgui:
43 firewallgui_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a firewallgui_t can be used to make the
47 process type firewallgui_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. fire‐
54 wallgui policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run firewallgui with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86 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 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
97 The SELinux process type firewallgui_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 firewallgui_tmp_t
103 system_conf_t
106 /ostree/repo(/.*)?
108 /etc/yum.repos.d(/.*)?
109 /etc/sysctl.conf(.old)?
110 /etc/sysconfig/ip6?tables.*
111 /etc/ostree/remotes.d(/.*)?
112 /etc/sysconfig/ipvsadm.*
113 /etc/sysconfig/ebtables.*
114 /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall.*
115 /ostree/deploy/rhel-atomic-host/deploy(/.*)?
116 systemd_passwd_var_run_t
118 /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
120 /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
121
124 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
125 type.
126 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
128 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
130 SELinux firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
131 their firewallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
132 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
134 SELinux defines the file context types for the firewallgui, if you
136 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
137 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
138 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
139 semanage fcontext -a -t firewallgui_tmp_t '/srv/myfirewallgui_con‐
141 tent(/.*)?'
142 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfirewallgui_content
143 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
145 match multiple files.
146 The following file types are defined for firewallgui:
148 firewallgui_exec_t
152 - Set files with the firewallgui_exec_t type, if you want to transition
154 an executable to the firewallgui_t domain.
155 firewallgui_tmp_t
159 - Set files with the firewallgui_tmp_t type, if you want to store fire‐
161 wallgui temporary files in the /tmp directories.
162 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
166 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
167 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
168 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
169
172 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
173 mappings.
174 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
176 process type is permissive.
177 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
179 icy modules.
180 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
182 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
185 icy settings.
