6 spamd_update_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 spamd_update processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the spamd_update processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The spamd_update processes execute with the spamd_update_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep spamd_update_t
20
21
22
24 The spamd_update_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 spamd_update_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the spamd_update_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron, /usr/bin/sa-update
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 spamd_update policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 spamd_update processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for spamd_update:
43
44 spamd_update_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a spamd_update_t can be used to make the
47 process type spamd_update_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 spamd_update policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run spamd_update with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow spamd_update to connect to all ports, you must
61 turn on the spamd_update_can_network boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P spamd_update_can_network 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
68 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
69 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 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 allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
90 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
97 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
100
101
102
104 The SELinux process type spamd_update_t can manage files labeled with
105 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
106 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
107 missions.
108
109 gpg_secret_t
110
111 /root/.gnupg(/.+)?
112 /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys(/.*)?
113 /home/[^/]+/.gnupg(/.+)?
114
115 spamd_tmp_t
116
117
118 spamd_var_lib_t
119
120 /var/lib/razor(/.*)?
121 /var/lib/pyzord(/.*)?
122 /var/lib/spamassassin(/.*)?
123
124
126 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
127 type.
128
129 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
130
131 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
132 SELinux spamd_update policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
133 their spamd_update processes in as secure a method as possible.
134
135 The following file types are defined for spamd_update:
136
137
138
139 spamd_update_exec_t
140
141 - Set files with the spamd_update_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
142 tion an executable to the spamd_update_t domain.
143
144
145 Paths:
146 /usr/share/spamassassin/sa-update.cron, /usr/bin/sa-update
147
148
149 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
150 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
151 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
152 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
153
154
156 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
157 mappings.
158
159 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
160 process type is permissive.
161
162 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
163 icy modules.
164
165 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
166
167
168 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
169 icy settings.
