6 cinder_volume_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cin‐
7 der_volume processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cinder_volume processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The cinder_volume processes execute with the cinder_volume_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 cinder_volume_t
20
24 The cinder_volume_t SELinux type can be entered via the cinder_vol‐
25 ume_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the cinder_volume_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/bin/cinder-volume
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 cinder_volume policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 cinder_volume processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for cinder_volume:
43 cinder_volume_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a cinder_volume_t can be used to make the
47 process type cinder_volume_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. cin‐
54 der_volume policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run cinder_volume with the
56 tightest access possible.
57 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
61 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
62 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
63 ean. Enabled by default.
64 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
66 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
77 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
78 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
79 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
81 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
85 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
86 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
88 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
92 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
93 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
94 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
95 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.
96 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
98 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
102 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
103 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
104 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
105 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
106 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
108
112 The SELinux process type cinder_volume_t can manage files labeled with
113 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
114 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
115 missions.
116 file_type
118 all files on the system
120
123 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
124 type.
125 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
127 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
129 SELinux cinder_volume policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
130 their cinder_volume processes in as secure a method as possible.
131 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
133 SELinux defines the file context types for the cinder_volume, if you
135 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
136 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
137 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
138 semanage fcontext -a -t cinder_volume_tmp_t '/srv/mycinder_volume_con‐
140 tent(/.*)?'
141 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycinder_volume_content
142 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
144 match multiple files.
145 The following file types are defined for cinder_volume:
147 cinder_volume_exec_t
151 - Set files with the cinder_volume_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
153 tion an executable to the cinder_volume_t domain.
154 cinder_volume_tmp_t
158 - Set files with the cinder_volume_tmp_t type, if you want to store
160 cinder volume temporary files in the /tmp directories.
161 cinder_volume_unit_file_t
165 - Set files with the cinder_volume_unit_file_t type, if you want to
167 treat the files as cinder volume unit content.
168 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
172 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
173 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
174 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
175
178 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
179 mappings.
180 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
182 process type is permissive.
183 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
185 icy modules.
186 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
188 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
191 icy settings.
