6 chrome_sandbox_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 chrome_sandbox processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the chrome_sandbox processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The chrome_sandbox processes execute with the chrome_sandbox_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep chrome_sandbox_t
20
21
22
24 The chrome_sandbox_t SELinux type can be entered via the chrome_sand‐
25 box_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the chrome_sandbox_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /opt/google/chrome[^/]*/chrome-sandbox, /usr/lib/chromium-
31 browser/chrome-sandbox
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 chrome_sandbox policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 chrome_sandbox processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for chrome_sandbox:
44
45 chrome_sandbox_t, chrome_sandbox_nacl_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a chrome_sandbox_t can be used to make the
48 process type chrome_sandbox_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 chrome_sandbox policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run chrome_sandbox with the
57 tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
62 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow regular users direct dri device access, you must
69 turn on the selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled boolean. Disabled by
70 default.
71
72 setsebool -P selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow unconfined users to transition to the chrome sand‐
77 box domains when running chrome-sandbox, you must turn on the uncon‐
78 fined_chrome_sandbox_transition boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P unconfined_chrome_sandbox_transition 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the
85 use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the
92 use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1
95
96
97
98 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
99 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
102
103
104
105 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
106 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
107
108 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
109
110
111
112 If you want to allows clients to write to the X server shared memory
113 segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm boolean. Dis‐
114 abled by default.
115
116 setsebool -P xserver_clients_write_xshm 1
117
118
119
121 The SELinux process type chrome_sandbox_t can manage files labeled with
122 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
123 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
124 missions.

192 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
193 type.
194
195 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
196
197 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
198 SELinux chrome_sandbox policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
199 their chrome_sandbox processes in as secure a method as possible.
200
201 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
202
203 SELinux defines the file context types for the chrome_sandbox, if you
204 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
205 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
206 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
207
208 semanage fcontext -a -t chrome_sandbox_home_t '/srv/mychrome_sand‐
209 box_content(/.*)?'
210 restorecon -R -v /srv/mychrome_sandbox_content
211
212 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
213 match multiple files.
214
215 The following file types are defined for chrome_sandbox:
216
217
218
219 chrome_sandbox_exec_t
220
221 - Set files with the chrome_sandbox_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
222 tion an executable to the chrome_sandbox_t domain.
223
224
225 Paths:
226 /opt/google/chrome[^/]*/chrome-sandbox, /usr/lib/chromium-
227 browser/chrome-sandbox
228
229
230 chrome_sandbox_home_t
231
232 - Set files with the chrome_sandbox_home_t type, if you want to store
233 chrome sandbox files in the users home directory.
234
235
236 Paths:
237 /home/[^/]+/.cache/chromium(/.*)?, /home/[^/]+/.con‐
238 fig/chromium(/.*)?, /home/[^/]+/.cache/google-chrome(/.*)?,
239 /home/[^/]+/.cache/google-chrome-unstable(/.*)?
240
241
242 chrome_sandbox_nacl_exec_t
243
244 - Set files with the chrome_sandbox_nacl_exec_t type, if you want to
245 transition an executable to the chrome_sandbox_nacl_t domain.
246
247
248 Paths:
249 /opt/google/chrome[^/]*/nacl_helper_bootstrap,
250 /opt/google/chrome/nacl_helper_bootstrap, /usr/lib/chromium-
251 browser/nacl_helper_bootstrap
252
253
254 chrome_sandbox_tmp_t
255
256 - Set files with the chrome_sandbox_tmp_t type, if you want to store
257 chrome sandbox temporary files in the /tmp directories.
258
259
260
261 chrome_sandbox_tmpfs_t
262
263 - Set files with the chrome_sandbox_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
264 chrome sandbox files on a tmpfs file system.
265
266
267
268 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
269 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
270 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
271 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
272
273
275 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
276 mappings.
277
278 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
279 process type is permissive.
280
281 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
282 icy modules.
283
284 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
285
286
287 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
288 icy settings.
