NAME

6       alsa_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the alsa processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the alsa processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The alsa processes execute with the alsa_t SELinux type. You can  check
13       if  you  have  these processes running by executing the ps command with
14       the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep alsa_t
19

21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The alsa_t SELinux type can be entered via the alsa_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the alsa_t domain are the following:
26
27       /sbin/salsa,    /sbin/alsactl,     /usr/bin/ainit,     /bin/alsaunmute,
28       /usr/sbin/salsa, /usr/sbin/alsactl, /usr/bin/alsaunmute
29

PROCESS TYPES

31       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
32       system
33
34       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
35
36       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
37       alsa  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their alsa pro‐
38       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40       The following process types are defined for alsa:
41
42       alsa_t
43
44       Note: semanage permissive -a alsa_t can be used  to  make  the  process
45       type  alsa_t  permissive.  SELinux  does  not deny access to permissive
46       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
47       ated.

BOOLEANS

51       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  alsa
52       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53       manipulate the policy and run alsa with the tightest access possible.
54
55
56
57       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
58       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
59
60       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
61
62
63
64       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
65       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
66
67       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

72       The  SELinux process type alsa_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
73       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
74       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
75
76       alsa_etc_rw_t
77
78            /etc/asound(/.*)?
79            /etc/alsa/pcm(/.*)?
80            /usr/share/alsa/pcm(/.*)?
81            /etc/asound.state
82            /etc/alsa/asound.state
83            /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
84
85       alsa_lock_t
86
87            /var/lock/asound.state.lock
88
89       alsa_tmpfs_t
90
91
92       alsa_var_lib_t
93
94            /var/lib/alsa(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

102       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
103       type.
104
105       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
106
107       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
108       SELinux alsa policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their alsa
109       processes in as secure a method as possible.
110
111       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
112
113       SELinux defines the file context types for the alsa, if you  wanted  to
114       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
115       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
116       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
117
118       semanage fcontext -a -t alsa_unit_file_t '/srv/myalsa_content(/.*)?'
119       restorecon -R -v /srv/myalsa_content
120
121       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
122       match multiple files.
123
124       The following file types are defined for alsa:
125
126
127
128       alsa_etc_rw_t
129
130       - Set files with the alsa_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files
131       as alsa etc read/write content.
132
133
134       Paths:
135            /etc/asound(/.*)?, /etc/alsa/pcm(/.*)?, /usr/share/alsa/pcm(/.*)?,
136            /etc/asound.state,                         /etc/alsa/asound.state,
137            /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf
138
139
140       alsa_exec_t
141
142       -  Set  files  with  the alsa_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
143       executable to the alsa_t domain.
144
145
146       Paths:
147            /sbin/salsa,   /sbin/alsactl,   /usr/bin/ainit,   /bin/alsaunmute,
148            /usr/sbin/salsa, /usr/sbin/alsactl, /usr/bin/alsaunmute
149
150
151       alsa_home_t
152
153       -  Set files with the alsa_home_t type, if you want to store alsa files
154       in the users home directory.
155
156
157
158       alsa_lock_t
159
160       - Set files with the alsa_lock_t type, if you want to treat  the  files
161       as alsa lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
162
163
164
165       alsa_tmp_t
166
167       -  Set files with the alsa_tmp_t type, if you want to store alsa tempo‐
168       rary files in the /tmp directories.
169
170
171
172       alsa_tmpfs_t
173
174       - Set files with the alsa_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store alsa files
175       on a tmpfs file system.
176
177
178
179       alsa_unit_file_t
180
181       -  Set  files  with the alsa_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
182       files as alsa unit content.
183
184
185
186       alsa_var_lib_t
187
188       - Set files with the alsa_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the alsa
189       files under the /var/lib directory.
190
191
192
193       alsa_var_run_t
194
195       - Set files with the alsa_var_run_t type, if you want to store the alsa
196       files under the /run or /var/run directory.
197
198
199
200       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
201       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
202       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
203       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
204
205

COMMANDS

207       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
208       mappings.
209
210       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
211       process type is permissive.
212
213       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
214       icy modules.
215
216       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
217
218
219       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
220       icy settings.
