6 cupsd_lpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cupsd_lpd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cupsd_lpd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The cupsd_lpd processes execute with the cupsd_lpd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep cupsd_lpd_t
20
21
22
24 The cupsd_lpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the cupsd_lpd_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the cupsd_lpd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-lpd
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 cupsd_lpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 cupsd_lpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for cupsd_lpd:
43
44 cupsd_lpd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a cupsd_lpd_t can be used to make the
47 process type cupsd_lpd_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.
54 cupsd_lpd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run cupsd_lpd with the tightest
56 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
68 The SELinux process type cupsd_lpd_t can manage files labeled with the
69 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
70 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72 cupsd_lpd_var_run_t
73
74
75 print_spool_t
76
77 /var/spool/lpd(/.*)?
78 /var/spool/cups(/.*)?
79 /var/spool/cups-pdf(/.*)?
80
81
83 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
84 type.
85
86 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
87
88 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
89 SELinux cupsd_lpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
90 cupsd_lpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
91
92 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
93
94 SELinux defines the file context types for the cupsd_lpd, if you wanted
95 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
96 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
97 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
98
99 semanage fcontext -a -t cupsd_lpd_var_run_t '/srv/mycupsd_lpd_con‐
100 tent(/.*)?'
101 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycupsd_lpd_content
102
103 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
104 match multiple files.
105
106 The following file types are defined for cupsd_lpd:
107
108
109
110 cupsd_lpd_exec_t
111
112 - Set files with the cupsd_lpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
113 an executable to the cupsd_lpd_t domain.
114
115
116
117 cupsd_lpd_tmp_t
118
119 - Set files with the cupsd_lpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store cupsd
120 lpd temporary files in the /tmp directories.
121
122
123
124 cupsd_lpd_var_run_t
125
126 - Set files with the cupsd_lpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
127 cupsd lpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
128
129
130
131 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
132 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
133 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
134 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
135
136
138 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
139 mappings.
140
141 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
142 process type is permissive.
143
144 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
145 icy modules.
146
147 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
148
149
150 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
151 icy settings.
