7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sandbox processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The sandbox processes execute with the sandbox_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 sandbox_t
20
21
22
24 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
25 system
26
27 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
28
29 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
30 sandbox policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sandbox
31 processes in as secure a method as possible.
32
33 The following process types are defined for sandbox:
34
35 sandbox_t, sandbox_xserver_t, sandbox_min_t, sandbox_min_client_t, sandbox_x_t, sandbox_x_client_t, sandbox_web_t, sandbox_web_client_t, sandbox_net_t, sandbox_net_client_t
36
37 Note: semanage permissive -a sandbox_t can be used to make the process
38 type sandbox_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
39 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
40 ated.
41
42
44 The SELinux process type sandbox_t is an MCS (Multi Category Security)
45 constrained type. Sometimes this separation is referred to as sVirt.
46 These types are usually used for securing multi-tenant environments,
47 such as virtualization, containers or separation of users. The tools
48 used to launch MCS types, pick out a different MCS label for each
49 process group.
50
51 For example one process might be launched with sandbox_t:s0:c1,c2, and
52 another process launched with sandbox_t:s0:c3,c4. The SELinux kernel
53 only allows these processes can only write to content with a matching
54 MCS label, or a MCS Label of s0. A process running with the MCS level
55 of s0:c1,c2 is not allowed to write to content with the MCS label of
56 s0:c3,c4
57
58
60 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sandbox
61 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
62 manipulate the policy and run sandbox with the tightest access possi‐
63 ble.
64
65
66
67 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
68 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
69 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
70 ean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type sandbox_t can manage files labeled with the
85 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
87
88 sandbox_file_t
89
90
91 sandbox_tmpfs_type
92
93 all sandbox content in tmpfs file systems
94
95
97 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
98 type.
99
100 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
101
102 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
103 SELinux sandbox policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
104 sandbox processes in as secure a method as possible.
105
106 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
107
108 SELinux defines the file context types for the sandbox, if you wanted
109 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
110 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
111 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
112
113 semanage fcontext -a -t sandbox_xserver_tmpfs_t '/srv/mysandbox_con‐
114 tent(/.*)?'
115 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysandbox_content
116
117 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
118 match multiple files.
119
120 The following file types are defined for sandbox:
121
122
123
124 sandbox_devpts_t
125
126 - Set files with the sandbox_devpts_t type, if you want to treat the
127 files as sandbox devpts data.
128
129
130
131 sandbox_exec_t
132
133 - Set files with the sandbox_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
134 executable to the sandbox_t domain.
135
136
137
138 sandbox_file_t
139
140 - Set files with the sandbox_file_t type, if you want to treat the
141 files as sandbox content.
142
143
144
145 sandbox_min_client_tmpfs_t
146
147 - Set files with the sandbox_min_client_tmpfs_t type, if you want to
148 store sandbox min client files on a tmpfs file system.
149
150
151
152 sandbox_net_client_tmpfs_t
153
154 - Set files with the sandbox_net_client_tmpfs_t type, if you want to
155 store sandbox net client files on a tmpfs file system.
156
157
158
159 sandbox_web_client_tmpfs_t
160
161 - Set files with the sandbox_web_client_tmpfs_t type, if you want to
162 store sandbox web client files on a tmpfs file system.
163
164
165
166 sandbox_x_client_tmpfs_t
167
168 - Set files with the sandbox_x_client_tmpfs_t type, if you want to
169 store sandbox x client files on a tmpfs file system.
170
171
172
173 sandbox_xserver_tmpfs_t
174
175 - Set files with the sandbox_xserver_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
176 sandbox xserver files on a tmpfs file system.
177
178
179
180 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
181 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
182 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
183 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
184
185
187 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
188 mappings.
189
190 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
191 process type is permissive.
192
193 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
194 icy modules.
195
196 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
197
198
199 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
200 icy settings.
