6 mailman_queue_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_queue processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_queue processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_queue processes execute with the mailman_queue_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 mailman_queue_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_queue_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_queue_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_queue_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/cron/.*,
31 /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner
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 mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for mailman_queue:
44
45 mailman_queue_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_queue_t can be used to make the
48 process type mailman_queue_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. mail‐
55 man_queue policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_queue with the
57 tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
69 The SELinux process type mailman_queue_t can manage files labeled with
70 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
71 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
72 missions.
73
74 faillog_t
75
76 /var/log/btmp.*
77 /var/log/faillog.*
78 /var/log/tallylog.*
79 /var/run/faillock(/.*)?

81 fusefs_t

83 /var/run/user/[^/]*/gvfs

85 mailman_archive_t

89 mailman_data_t
90
91 /etc/mailman.*
92 /var/lib/mailman(/.*)?
93 /var/spool/mailman.*
94
95 mailman_lock_t
96
97 /var/lock/mailman.*
98 /var/lock/subsys/mailman.*

104
106 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
107 type.
108
109 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
110
111 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
112 SELinux mailman_queue policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
113 their mailman_queue processes in as secure a method as possible.
114
115 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
116
117 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_queue, if you
118 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
119 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
120 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
121
122 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_queue_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_queue_con‐
123 tent(/.*)?'
124 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_queue_content
125
126 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
127 match multiple files.
128
129 The following file types are defined for mailman_queue:
130
131
132
133 mailman_queue_exec_t
134
135 - Set files with the mailman_queue_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
136 tion an executable to the mailman_queue_t domain.
137
138
139 Paths:
140 /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/mailman, /usr/lib/mailman.*/cron/.*,
141 /usr/lib/mailman.*/bin/qrunner
142
143
144 mailman_queue_tmp_t
145
146 - Set files with the mailman_queue_tmp_t type, if you want to store
147 mailman queue temporary files in the /tmp directories.
148
149
150
151 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
152 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
153 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
154 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
155
156
158 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
159 mappings.
160
161 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
162 process type is permissive.
163
164 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
165 icy modules.
166
167 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
168
169
170 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
171 icy settings.
