6 cronjob_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cronjob pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cronjob processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The cronjob processes execute with the cronjob_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 cronjob_t
20
21
22
24 The cronjob_t SELinux type can be entered via the user_cron_spool_t,
25 shell_exec_t file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the cronjob_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /var/spool/at(/.*)?, /var/spool/cron, /var/spool/cron/[^/]+,
31 /bin/d?ash, /bin/ksh.*, /bin/zsh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/ksh.*,
32 /usr/bin/zsh.*, /bin/esh, /bin/bash, /bin/fish, /bin/mksh, /bin/sash,
33 /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash, /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /sbin/nologin,
34 /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/sash,
35 /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/yash, /usr/bin/bash2, /usr/sbin/sesh,
36 /usr/sbin/smrsh, /usr/bin/scponly, /usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/sbin/nolo‐
37 gin, /usr/bin/git-shell, /usr/sbin/scponlyc, /usr/libexec/sudo/sesh,
38 /usr/bin/cockpit-bridge, /usr/libexec/cockpit-agent, /usr/libexec/git-

42 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
43 system
44
45 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
46
47 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
48 cronjob policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cronjob
49 processes in as secure a method as possible.
50
51 The following process types are defined for cronjob:
52
53 cronjob_t
54
55 Note: semanage permissive -a cronjob_t can be used to make the process
56 type cronjob_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
57 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
58 ated.
59
60
62 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cronjob
63 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
64 manipulate the policy and run cronjob with the tightest access possi‐
65 ble.
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 allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
77 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type cronjob_t can manage files labeled with the
85 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
87
88 user_home_t
89
90 /home/[^/]+/.+
91
92 user_tmp_t
93
94 /dev/shm/mono.*
95 /var/run/user(/.*)?
96 /tmp/.ICE-unix(/.*)?
97 /tmp/.X11-unix(/.*)?
98 /dev/shm/pulse-shm.*
99 /tmp/.X0-lock
100 /tmp/hsperfdata_root
101 /var/tmp/hsperfdata_root
102 /home/[^/]+/tmp
103 /home/[^/]+/.tmp
104 /tmp/gconfd-[^/]+
105
106
108 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
109 mappings.
110
111 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
112 process type is permissive.
113
114 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
115 icy modules.
116
117 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
118
119
120 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
121 icy settings.
