6 telepathy_msn_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepa‐
7 thy_msn processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_msn processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The telepathy_msn processes execute with the telepathy_msn_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep telepathy_msn_t
20
24 The telepathy_msn_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepa‐
25 thy_msn_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_msn_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/telepathy-haze, /usr/libexec/telepathy-butterfly
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_msn policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 telepathy_msn processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for telepathy_msn:
43 telepathy_msn_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_msn_t can be used to make the
47 process type telepathy_msn_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. telepa‐
54 thy_msn policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_msn 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_msn_t can manage files labeled with
114 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
115 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
116 missions.
117 cache_home_t
119 /root/.cache(/.*)?
121 /home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?
122 /home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?
123 telepathy_msn_tmp_t
125
129 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
130 type.
131 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
133 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
135 SELinux telepathy_msn policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
136 their telepathy_msn processes in as secure a method as possible.
137 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
139 SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_msn, if you
141 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
142 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
143 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
144 semanage fcontext -a -t telepathy_msn_tmp_t '/srv/mytelepathy_msn_con‐
146 tent(/.*)?'
147 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_msn_content
148 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
150 match multiple files.
151 The following file types are defined for telepathy_msn:
153 telepathy_msn_exec_t
157 - Set files with the telepathy_msn_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
159 tion an executable to the telepathy_msn_t domain.
160 Paths:
163 /usr/libexec/telepathy-haze, /usr/libexec/telepathy-butterfly
164 telepathy_msn_tmp_t
167 - Set files with the telepathy_msn_tmp_t type, if you want to store
169 telepathy msn temporary files in the /tmp directories.
170 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
174 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
175 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
176 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
177
180 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
181 mappings.
182 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
184 process type is permissive.
185 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
187 icy modules.
188 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
190 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
193 icy settings.
