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
13 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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep firewallgui_t
20
21
22
24 The firewallgui_t SELinux type can be entered via the firewall‐
25 gui_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the firewallgui_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /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
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 firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fire‐
40 wallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for firewallgui:
43
44 firewallgui_t
45
46 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
51
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
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type firewallgui_t can manage files labeled with
76 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
77 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
78 missions.
79
80 systemd_passwd_var_run_t
81
82 /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
83 /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
84
85
87 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
88 type.
89
90 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
91
92 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
93 SELinux firewallgui policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
94 their firewallgui processes in as secure a method as possible.
95
96 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
97
98 SELinux defines the file context types for the firewallgui, if you
99 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
100 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
101 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
102
103 semanage fcontext -a -t firewallgui_tmp_t '/srv/myfirewallgui_con‐
104 tent(/.*)?'
105 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfirewallgui_content
106
107 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
108 match multiple files.
109
110 The following file types are defined for firewallgui:
111
112
113
114 firewallgui_exec_t
115
116 - Set files with the firewallgui_exec_t type, if you want to transition
117 an executable to the firewallgui_t domain.
118
119
120
121 firewallgui_tmp_t
122
123 - Set files with the firewallgui_tmp_t type, if you want to store fire‐
124 wallgui temporary files in the /tmp directories.
125
126
127
128 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
129 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
130 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
131 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
132
133
135 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
136 mappings.
137
138 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
139 process type is permissive.
140
141 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
142 icy modules.
143
144 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
145
146
147 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
148 icy settings.
