NAME

6       mailman_cgi_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy for the mail‐
7       man_cgi processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_cgi processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mailman_cgi processes execute with the mailman_cgi_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 mailman_cgi_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   mailman_cgi_t   SELinux   type  can  be  entered  via  the  mail‐
25       man_cgi_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_cgi_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       mailman_cgi policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mail‐
40       man_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for mailman_cgi:
43
44       mailman_cgi_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_cgi_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type mailman_cgi_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  mail‐
54       man_cgi policy is extremely flexible  and  has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_cgi 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

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux  process  type mailman_cgi_t can manage files labeled with
69       the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for
70       these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71       missions.
72
73       fusefs_t
74
75            /var/run/user/[^/]*/gvfs
76
77       mailman_archive_t
78
79            /var/lib/mailman.*/archives(/.*)?
80
81       mailman_data_t
82
83            /etc/mailman.*
84            /var/lib/mailman(/.*)?
85            /var/spool/mailman.*
86
87       mailman_lock_t
88
89            /var/lock/mailman.*
90            /var/lock/subsys/mailman.*
91
92       mailman_log_t
93
94            /var/log/mailman.*

FILE CONTEXTS

98       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
99       type.
100
101       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
102
103       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
104       SELinux mailman_cgi policy is very flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
105       their mailman_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
106
107       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
108
109       SELinux  defines  the  file  context  types for the mailman_cgi, if you
110       wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need  to
111       execute  the  semanage  command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
112       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
113
114       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  mailman_cgi_tmp_t  '/srv/mymailman_cgi_con‐
115       tent(/.*)?'
116       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_cgi_content
117
118       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
119       match multiple files.
120
121       The following file types are defined for mailman_cgi:
122
123
124
125       mailman_cgi_exec_t
126
127       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_exec_t type, if you want to transition
128       an executable to the mailman_cgi_t domain.
129
130
131       Paths:
132            /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
133
134
135       mailman_cgi_tmp_t
136
137       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_tmp_t type, if you want to store mail‐
138       man cgi temporary files in the /tmp directories.
139
140
141
142       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
143       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
144       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
145       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
146
147

COMMANDS

149       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
150       mappings.
151
152       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
153       process type is permissive.
154
155       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
156       icy modules.
157
158       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
159
160
161       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
162       icy settings.
