6 kmscon_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the kmscon pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the kmscon processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The kmscon processes execute with the kmscon_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep kmscon_t
20
21
22
24 The kmscon_t SELinux type can be entered via the kmscon_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the kmscon_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/kmscon
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 kmscon policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their kmscon
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for kmscon:
42
43 kmscon_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a kmscon_t can be used to make the process
46 type kmscon_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. kmscon
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run kmscon with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
62
63
64
66 The SELinux process type kmscon_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

111 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
112 type.
113
114 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
115
116 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
117 SELinux kmscon policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
118 kmscon processes in as secure a method as possible.
119
120 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
121
122 SELinux defines the file context types for the kmscon, if you wanted to
123 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
124 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
125 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
126
127 semanage fcontext -a -t kmscon_unit_file_t '/srv/mykmscon_con‐
128 tent(/.*)?'
129 restorecon -R -v /srv/mykmscon_content
130
131 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
132 match multiple files.
133
134 The following file types are defined for kmscon:
135
136
137
138 kmscon_conf_t
139
140 - Set files with the kmscon_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
141 as kmscon configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
142
143
144
145 kmscon_exec_t
146
147 - Set files with the kmscon_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
148 executable to the kmscon_t domain.
149
150
151
152 kmscon_unit_file_t
153
154 - Set files with the kmscon_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
155 files as kmscon unit content.
156
157
158
159 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
160 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
161 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
162 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
163
164
166 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
167 mappings.
168
169 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
170 process type is permissive.
171
172 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
173 icy modules.
174
175 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
176
177
178 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
179 icy settings.
