6 devicekit_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the devicekit
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the devicekit processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The devicekit processes execute with the devicekit_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 devicekit_t
20
21
22
24 The devicekit_t SELinux type can be entered via the devicekit_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the devicekit_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/udisksctl, /usr/libexec/devkit-daemon
31
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 devicekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 devicekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for devicekit:
43
44 devicekit_t, devicekit_power_t, devicekit_disk_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a devicekit_t can be used to make the
47 process type devicekit_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 devicekit policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run devicekit with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
59
60 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
65 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
66
67
68
69 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
72 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76 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
80 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
85 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
88
89
90
91 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
97 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
98
99
100
101 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. Disabled by default.
106
107 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
108
109
110
112 The SELinux process type devicekit_t can manage files labeled with the
113 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
114 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
115
116 file_type
117
118 all files on the system
119
120
122 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
123 type.
124
125 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
126
127 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
128 SELinux devicekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
129 devicekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
130
131 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
132
133 SELinux defines the file context types for the devicekit, if you wanted
134 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
135 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
136 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
137
138 semanage fcontext -a -t devicekit_var_log_t '/srv/mydevicekit_con‐
139 tent(/.*)?'
140 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydevicekit_content
141
142 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
143 match multiple files.
144
145 The following file types are defined for devicekit:
146
147
148
149 devicekit_disk_exec_t
150
151 - Set files with the devicekit_disk_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
152 tion an executable to the devicekit_disk_t domain.
153
154
155 Paths:
156 /lib/udisks2/udisksd, /lib/udev/udisks-part-id,
157 /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd, /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon,
158 /usr/lib/udev/udisks-part-id, /usr/libexec/udisks2/udisksd,
159 /usr/lib/udisks/udisks-daemon, /usr/libexec/devkit-disks-daemon
160
161
162 devicekit_exec_t
163
164 - Set files with the devicekit_exec_t type, if you want to transition
165 an executable to the devicekit_t domain.
166
167
168 Paths:
169 /usr/bin/udisksctl, /usr/libexec/devkit-daemon
170
171
172 devicekit_power_exec_t
173
174 - Set files with the devicekit_power_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
175 sition an executable to the devicekit_power_t domain.
176
177
178 Paths:
179 /usr/libexec/upowerd, /usr/lib/upower/upowerd,
180 /usr/libexec/devkit-power-daemon
181
182
183 devicekit_tmp_t
184
185 - Set files with the devicekit_tmp_t type, if you want to store
186 devicekit temporary files in the /tmp directories.
187
188
189
190 devicekit_var_lib_t
191
192 - Set files with the devicekit_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
193 devicekit files under the /var/lib directory.
194
195
196 Paths:
197 /var/lib/udisks.*, /var/lib/upower(/.*)?, /var/lib/DeviceKit-.*
198
199
200 devicekit_var_log_t
201
202 - Set files with the devicekit_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
203 data as devicekit var log data, usually stored under the /var/log
204 directory.
205
206
207 Paths:
208 /var/log/pm-suspend.log.*, /var/log/pm-powersave.log.*
209
210
211 devicekit_var_run_t
212
213 - Set files with the devicekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
214 devicekit files under the /run or /var/run directory.
215
216
217 Paths:
218 /var/run/udisks.*, /var/run/devkit(/.*)?, /var/run/upower(/.*)?,
219 /var/run/pm-utils(/.*)?, /var/run/DeviceKit-disks(/.*)?
220
221
222 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
223 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
224 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
225 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
226
227
229 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
230 mappings.
231
232 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
233 process type is permissive.
234
235 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
236 icy modules.
237
238 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
239
240
241 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
242 icy settings.
