6 gitosis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gitosis pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gitosis processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gitosis processes execute with the gitosis_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 gitosis_t
20
21
22
24 The gitosis_t SELinux type can be entered via the gitosis_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gitosis_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/gitosis-serve, /usr/bin/gl-auth-command
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 gitosis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gitosis
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for gitosis:
43
44 gitosis_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a gitosis_t can be used to make the process
47 type gitosis_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. gitosis
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run gitosis with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether Gitosis can send mail, you must turn
61 on the gitosis_can_sendmail boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P gitosis_can_sendmail 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
68 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type gitosis_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
78
79 gitosis_var_lib_t
80
81 /srv/lib/gitosis(/.*)?
82 /var/lib/gitosis(/.*)?
83 /var/lib/gitolite(3)?(/.*)?
84
85
87 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
88 type.
89
90 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
91
92 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
93 SELinux gitosis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
94 gitosis processes in as secure a method as possible.
95
96 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
97
98 SELinux defines the file context types for the gitosis, if you wanted
99 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
100 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
101 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
102
103 semanage fcontext -a -t gitosis_var_lib_t '/srv/mygitosis_con‐
104 tent(/.*)?'
105 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygitosis_content
106
107 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
108 match multiple files.
109
110 The following file types are defined for gitosis:
111
112
113
114 gitosis_exec_t
115
116 - Set files with the gitosis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
117 executable to the gitosis_t domain.
118
119
120 Paths:
121 /usr/bin/gitosis-serve, /usr/bin/gl-auth-command
122
123
124 gitosis_var_lib_t
125
126 - Set files with the gitosis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
127 gitosis files under the /var/lib directory.
128
129
130 Paths:
131 /srv/lib/gitosis(/.*)?, /var/lib/gitosis(/.*)?, /var/lib/gito‐
132 lite(3)?(/.*)?
133
134
135 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
136 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
137 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
138 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
139
140
142 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
143 mappings.
144
145 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
146 process type is permissive.
147
148 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
149 icy modules.
150
151 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
152
153
154 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
155 icy settings.
