6 colord_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the colord pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the colord processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The colord processes execute with the colord_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep colord_t
20
21
22
24 The colord_t SELinux type can be entered via the colord_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the colord_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord, /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord-sane,
30 /usr/libexec/colord, /usr/lib/colord/colord, /usr/libexec/colord-sane,
31 /usr/lib/colord/colord-sane
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 colord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their colord
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for colord:
44
45 colord_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a colord_t can be used to make the process
48 type colord_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. colord
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run colord with the tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether Colord can access nfs file systems,
61 you must turn on the colord_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P colord_use_nfs 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. Disabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the
104 use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
107
108
109
111 The SELinux process type colord_t can manage files labeled with the
112 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
113 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

192 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
193 type.
194
195 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
196
197 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
198 SELinux colord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
199 colord processes in as secure a method as possible.
200
201 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
202
203
204 colord policy stores data with multiple different file context types
205 under the /var/lib/color directory. If you would like to store the
206 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
207 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
208 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
209
210 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/color /srv/color
211 restorecon -R -v /srv/color
212
213 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
214
215 SELinux defines the file context types for the colord, if you wanted to
216 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
217 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
218 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
219
220 semanage fcontext -a -t colord_unit_file_t '/srv/mycolord_con‐
221 tent(/.*)?'
222 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycolord_content
223
224 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
225 match multiple files.
226
227 The following file types are defined for colord:
228
229
230
231 colord_exec_t
232
233 - Set files with the colord_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
234 executable to the colord_t domain.
235
236
237 Paths:
238 /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord, /usr/lib/[^/]*/colord/colord-sane,
239 /usr/libexec/colord, /usr/lib/colord/colord, /usr/libexec/colord-
240 sane, /usr/lib/colord/colord-sane
241
242
243 colord_tmp_t
244
245 - Set files with the colord_tmp_t type, if you want to store colord
246 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
247
248
249
250 colord_tmpfs_t
251
252 - Set files with the colord_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store colord
253 files on a tmpfs file system.
254
255
256
257 colord_unit_file_t
258
259 - Set files with the colord_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
260 files as colord unit content.
261
262
263
264 colord_var_lib_t
265
266 - Set files with the colord_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
267 colord files under the /var/lib directory.
268
269
270 Paths:
271 /var/lib/color(/.*)?, /var/lib/colord(/.*)?
272
273
274 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
275 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
276 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
277 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
278
279
281 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
282 mappings.
283
284 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
285 process type is permissive.
286
287 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
288 icy modules.
289
290 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
291
292
293 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
294 icy settings.
