6 unconfined_mount_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 unconfined_mount processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the unconfined_mount processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The unconfined_mount processes execute with the unconfined_mount_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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep unconfined_mount_t
20
21
22
24 The unconfined_mount_t SELinux type can be entered via the mount_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the unconfined_mount_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /bin/mount.*, /bin/umount.*, /sbin/mount.*, /sbin/umount.*,
31 /usr/bin/mount.*, /usr/bin/umount.*, /usr/sbin/mount.*,
32 /usr/sbin/umount.*
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 unconfined_mount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
42 unconfined_mount processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for unconfined_mount:
45
46 unconfined_mount_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a unconfined_mount_t can be used to make the
49 process type unconfined_mount_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
50 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
51 sages are still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. uncon‐
56 fined_mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run unconfined_mount with the
58 tightest access possible.

61
62 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
63 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
64 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
65 ean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
72 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
79 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
80 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
83
84
85
86 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
87 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
88
89 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
90
91
92
93 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
94 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
95 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
96 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
97 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
104 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
105 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
106 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
107 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

114 The SELinux process type unconfined_mount_t can manage files labeled
115 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
116 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
117 permissions.
118
119 file_type
120
121 all files on the system
122
123
125 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
126 mappings.
127
128 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
129 process type is permissive.
130
131 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
132 icy modules.
133
134 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
135
136
137 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
138 icy settings.
