NAME

6       usbmodules_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the usbmodules
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the usbmodules processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  usbmodules  processes  execute with the usbmodules_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep usbmodules_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  usbmodules_t SELinux type can be entered via the usbmodules_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the usbmodules_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/usbmodules, /usr/sbin/usbmodules
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       usbmodules  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their usb‐
40       modules processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for usbmodules:
43
44       usbmodules_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a usbmodules_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  usbmodules_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  usbmod‐
54       ules policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run usbmodules with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

68       The SELinux process type usbmodules_t can manage files labeled with the
69       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
70       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72       usbfs_t

75

FILE CONTEXTS

77       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
78       type.
79
80       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
81
82       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
83       SELinux  usbmodules  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
84       their usbmodules processes in as secure a method as possible.
85
86       The following file types are defined for usbmodules:
87
88
89
90       usbmodules_exec_t
91
92       - Set files with the usbmodules_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
93       an executable to the usbmodules_t domain.
94
95
96       Paths:
97            /sbin/usbmodules, /usr/sbin/usbmodules
98
99
100       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
101       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
102       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
103       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
104
105

COMMANDS

107       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
108       mappings.
109
110       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
111       process type is permissive.
112
113       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
114       icy modules.
115
116       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
117
118
119       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
120       icy settings.
