NAME

6       gpg_agent_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg_agent
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg_agent  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  gpg_agent processes execute with the gpg_agent_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep gpg_agent_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  gpg_agent_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the gpg_agent_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_agent_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/gpg-agent
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       gpg_agent  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup their
40       gpg_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for gpg_agent:
43
44       gpg_agent_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  gpg_agent_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  gpg_agent_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       gpg_agent policy is extremely flexible and has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run gpg_agent 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 gpg_agent_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       cifs_t

76

FILE CONTEXTS

113       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
114       type.
115
116       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
117
118       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
119       SELinux gpg_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
120       gpg_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
121
122       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
123
124       SELinux defines the file context types for the gpg_agent, if you wanted
125       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
126       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
127       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
128
129       semanage   fcontext   -a  -t  gpg_agent_tmpfs_t  '/srv/mygpg_agent_con‐
130       tent(/.*)?'
131       restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_agent_content
132
133       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
134       match multiple files.
135
136       The following file types are defined for gpg_agent:
137
138
139
140       gpg_agent_exec_t
141
142       -  Set  files with the gpg_agent_exec_t type, if you want to transition
143       an executable to the gpg_agent_t domain.
144
145
146
147       gpg_agent_tmp_t
148
149       - Set files with the gpg_agent_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store  gpg
150       agent temporary files in the /tmp directories.
151
152
153
154       gpg_agent_tmpfs_t
155
156       -  Set  files with the gpg_agent_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store gpg
157       agent files on a tmpfs file system.
158
159
160
161       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
162       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
163       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
164       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
165
166

COMMANDS

168       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
169       mappings.
170
171       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
172       process type is permissive.
173
174       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
175       icy modules.
176
177       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
178
179
180       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
181       icy settings.
