6 geoclue_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the geoclue pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the geoclue processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The geoclue processes execute with the geoclue_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 geoclue_t
20
21
22
24 The geoclue_t SELinux type can be entered via the geoclue_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the geoclue_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/geoclue
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 geoclue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their geoclue
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for geoclue:
43
44 geoclue_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a geoclue_t can be used to make the process
47 type geoclue_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. geoclue
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run geoclue with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
75 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
78
79
80
82 The SELinux process type geoclue_t can manage files labeled with the
83 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
84 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
85
86 geoclue_tmp_t
87
88
89 geoclue_var_lib_t
90
91 /var/lib/geoclue(/.*)?
92
93
95 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
96 type.
97
98 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
99
100 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
101 SELinux geoclue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
102 geoclue processes in as secure a method as possible.
103
104 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
105
106 SELinux defines the file context types for the geoclue, if you wanted
107 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
108 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
109 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
110
111 semanage fcontext -a -t geoclue_tmp_t '/srv/mygeoclue_content(/.*)?'
112 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygeoclue_content
113
114 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
115 match multiple files.
116
117 The following file types are defined for geoclue:
118
119
120
121 geoclue_exec_t
122
123 - Set files with the geoclue_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
124 executable to the geoclue_t domain.
125
126
127
128 geoclue_tmp_t
129
130 - Set files with the geoclue_tmp_t type, if you want to store geoclue
131 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
132
133
134
135 geoclue_var_lib_t
136
137 - Set files with the geoclue_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
138 geoclue files under the /var/lib directory.
139
140
141
142 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
143 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
144 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
145 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
146
147
149 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
150 mappings.
151
152 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
153 process type is permissive.
154
155 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
156 icy modules.
157
158 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
159
160
161 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
162 icy settings.
