6 rolekit_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rolekit pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rolekit processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The rolekit processes execute with the rolekit_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 rolekit_t
20
21
22
24 The rolekit_t SELinux type can be entered via the rolekit_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the rolekit_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/roled
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 rolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rolekit
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for rolekit:
43
44 rolekit_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a rolekit_t can be used to make the process
47 type rolekit_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. rolekit
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run rolekit with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
69 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
70 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
71 ean. Enabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
78 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
85 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
92 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
93 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
96
97
98
99 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
100 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
101
102 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
103
104
105
106 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
107 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
110
111
112
113 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
114 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
115
116 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
117
118
119
120 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
121 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
122 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
123 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
124 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.
125
126 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
127
128
129
130 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
131 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
132 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
133 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
134 stack boolean. Disabled by default.
135
136 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
137
138
139
141 The SELinux process type rolekit_t can manage files labeled with the
142 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
143 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
144
145 file_type
146
147 all files on the system
148
149
151 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
152 type.
153
154 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
155
156 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
157 SELinux rolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
158 rolekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
159
160 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
161
162 SELinux defines the file context types for the rolekit, if you wanted
163 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
164 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
165 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
166
167 semanage fcontext -a -t rolekit_unit_file_t '/srv/myrolekit_con‐
168 tent(/.*)?'
169 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrolekit_content
170
171 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
172 match multiple files.
173
174 The following file types are defined for rolekit:
175
176
177
178 rolekit_exec_t
179
180 - Set files with the rolekit_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
181 executable to the rolekit_t domain.
182
183
184
185 rolekit_tmp_t
186
187 - Set files with the rolekit_tmp_t type, if you want to store rolekit
188 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
189
190
191
192 rolekit_unit_file_t
193
194 - Set files with the rolekit_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
195 files as rolekit unit content.
196
197
198
199 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
200 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
201 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
202 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
203
204
206 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
207 mappings.
208
209 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
210 process type is permissive.
211
212 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
213 icy modules.
214
215 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
216
217
218 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
219 icy settings.
