6 firewallgui_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the firewall‐
7 gui processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the firewallgui processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The firewallgui processes execute with the firewallgui_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep firewallgui_t
20
24 The firewallgui_t SELinux type can be entered via the firewall‐
25 gui_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the firewallgui_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/share/system-config-firewall/system-config-firewall-mechanism.py
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fire‐
40 wallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for firewallgui:
43 firewallgui_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a firewallgui_t can be used to make the
47 process type firewallgui_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. fire‐
54 wallgui policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run firewallgui with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
97 The SELinux process type firewallgui_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.
101 firewallgui_tmp_t
103 system_conf_t
106 /ostree/repo(/.*)?
108 /etc/yum.repos.d(/.*)?
109 /etc/sysctl.conf(.old)?
110 /etc/sysconfig/ip6?tables.*
111 /etc/sysconfig/ip6?tables.save
112 /etc/ostree/remotes.d(/.*)?
113 /etc/sysconfig/ipvsadm.*
114 /etc/sysconfig/ebtables.*
115 /etc/sysconfig/system-config-firewall.*
116 /ostree/deploy/rhel-atomic-host/deploy(/.*)?
117 systemd_passwd_var_run_t
119 /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
121 /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
122
125 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
126 type.
127 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
129 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
131 SELinux firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
132 their firewallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
133 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
135 SELinux defines the file context types for the firewallgui, if you
137 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
138 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
139 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
140 semanage fcontext -a -t firewallgui_tmp_t '/srv/myfirewallgui_con‐
142 tent(/.*)?'
143 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfirewallgui_content
144 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
146 match multiple files.
147 The following file types are defined for firewallgui:
149 firewallgui_exec_t
153 - Set files with the firewallgui_exec_t type, if you want to transition
155 an executable to the firewallgui_t domain.
156 firewallgui_tmp_t
160 - Set files with the firewallgui_tmp_t type, if you want to store fire‐
162 wallgui temporary files in the /tmp directories.
163 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
167 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
168 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
169 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
170
173 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
174 mappings.
175 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
177 process type is permissive.
178 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
180 icy modules.
181 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
183 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
186 icy settings.
