6 realmd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the realmd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the realmd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The realmd processes execute with the realmd_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 realmd_t
20
21
22
24 The realmd_t SELinux type can be entered via the realmd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the realmd_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/lib/realmd/realmd
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 realmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their realmd
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for realmd:
42
43 realmd_t, realmd_consolehelper_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a realmd_t can be used to make the process
46 type realmd_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. realmd
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run realmd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
59 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
60 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
63
64
65
66 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
67 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
68 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
69 ean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
76 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
83 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
90 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
91 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
94
95
96
97 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
98 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
101
102
103
104 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
105 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
106
107 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
108
109
110
111 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
112 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
113
114 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
115
116
117
118 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
119 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
120 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
121 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
122 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
125
126
127
128 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
129 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
130 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
131 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
132 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
133
134 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
135
136
137
139 The SELinux process type realmd_t can manage files labeled with the
140 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
141 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
142
143 file_type
144
145 all files on the system
146
147
149 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
150 type.
151
152 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
153
154 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
155 SELinux realmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
156 realmd processes in as secure a method as possible.
157
158 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
159
160 SELinux defines the file context types for the realmd, if you wanted to
161 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
162 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
163 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
164
165 semanage fcontext -a -t realmd_var_lib_t '/srv/myrealmd_content(/.*)?'
166 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrealmd_content
167
168 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
169 match multiple files.
170
171 The following file types are defined for realmd:
172
173
174
175 realmd_exec_t
176
177 - Set files with the realmd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
178 executable to the realmd_t domain.
179
180
181
182 realmd_tmp_t
183
184 - Set files with the realmd_tmp_t type, if you want to store realmd
185 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
186
187
188
189 realmd_var_cache_t
190
191 - Set files with the realmd_var_cache_t type, if you want to store the
192 files under the /var/cache directory.
193
194
195
196 realmd_var_lib_t
197
198 - Set files with the realmd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
199 realmd files under the /var/lib directory.
200
201
202
203 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
204 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
205 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
206 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
207
208
210 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
211 mappings.
212
213 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
214 process type is permissive.
215
216 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
217 icy modules.
218
219 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
220
221
222 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
223 icy settings.
