6 telepathy_gabble_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 telepathy_gabble processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_gabble processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12 The telepathy_gabble processes execute with the telepathy_gabble_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep telepathy_gabble_t
20
24 The telepathy_gabble_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepa‐
25 thy_gabble_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_gabble_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/telepathy-gabble
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 telepathy_gabble policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 telepathy_gabble processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for telepathy_gabble:
43 telepathy_gabble_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_gabble_t can be used to make the
47 process type telepathy_gabble_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
48 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
49 sages are still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. telepa‐
54 thy_gabble policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_gabble with the
56 tightest 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 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
97 any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports
98 boolean. Disabled by default.
99 setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1
101 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
105 any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_con‐
106 nect_generic_network_ports boolean. Enabled by default.
107 setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1
109
113 The SELinux process type telepathy_gabble_t can manage files labeled
114 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
115 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
116 permissions.
117 cache_home_t
119 /root/.cache(/.*)?
121 /home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?
122 /home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?
123 cifs_t
125 config_home_t
128 /root/.kde(/.*)?
130 /root/.xine(/.*)?

160 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
161 type.
162 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
164 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
166 SELinux telepathy_gabble policy is very flexible allowing users to set‐
167 up their telepathy_gabble processes in as secure a method as possible.
168 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
170 SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_gabble, if you
172 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
173 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
174 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
175 semanage fcontext -a -t telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t '/srv/mytelepa‐
177 thy_gabble_content(/.*)?'
178 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_gabble_content
179 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
181 match multiple files.
182 The following file types are defined for telepathy_gabble:
184 telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t
188 - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t type, if you want to
190 store telepathy gabble cache files in the users home directory.
191 Paths:
194 /home/[^/]+/.cache/wocky(/.*)?, /home/[^/]+/.cache/telepathy/gab‐
195 ble(/.*)?, /home/[^/]+/.cache/telepathy/avatars/gabble(/.*)?
196 telepathy_gabble_exec_t
199 - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
201 sition an executable to the telepathy_gabble_t domain.
202 telepathy_gabble_tmp_t
206 - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_tmp_t type, if you want to store
208 telepathy gabble temporary files in the /tmp directories.
209 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
213 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
214 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
215 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
216
219 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
220 mappings.
221 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
223 process type is permissive.
224 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
226 icy modules.
227 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
229 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
232 icy settings.
