6 gpsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpsd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpsd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The gpsd processes execute with the gpsd_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep gpsd_t
19
23 The gpsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpsd_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the gpsd_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/gpsd
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 gpsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpsd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for gpsd:
40 gpsd_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a gpsd_t can be used to make the process
44 type gpsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gpsd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run gpsd with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
64 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
65 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
67 command:
68 semanage port -l
70 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
73 SELinux gpsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpsd
74 processes in as secure a method as possible.
75 The following port types are defined for gpsd:
77 gpsd_port_t
80 Default Defined Ports:
84 tcp 2947
85
87 The SELinux process type gpsd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
88 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
89 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

142 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
143 type.
144 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
146 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
148 SELinux gpsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpsd
149 processes in as secure a method as possible.
150 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
152 SELinux defines the file context types for the gpsd, if you wanted to
154 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
155 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
156 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
157 semanage fcontext -a -t gpsd_var_run_t '/srv/mygpsd_content(/.*)?'
159 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpsd_content
160 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
162 match multiple files.
163 The following file types are defined for gpsd:
165 gpsd_exec_t
169 - Set files with the gpsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
171 executable to the gpsd_t domain.
172 gpsd_initrc_exec_t
176 - Set files with the gpsd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
178 an executable to the gpsd_initrc_t domain.
179 gpsd_tmpfs_t
183 - Set files with the gpsd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store gpsd files
185 on a tmpfs file system.
186 gpsd_var_run_t
190 - Set files with the gpsd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the gpsd
192 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
193 Paths:
196 /var/run/gpsd.pid, /var/run/gpsd.sock
197 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
200 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
201 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
202 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
203
206 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
207 mappings.
208 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
210 process type is permissive.
211 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
213 icy modules.
214 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
216 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
218 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
221 icy settings.
