6 cyrus_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cyrus processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cyrus processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The cyrus processes execute with the cyrus_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep cyrus_t
19
20
21
23 The cyrus_t SELinux type can be entered via the cyrus_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the cyrus_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/master, /usr/lib/cyrus-
28 imapd/cyrus-master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master
29
31 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
32 system
33
34 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
35
36 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
37 cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cyrus pro‐
38 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40 The following process types are defined for cyrus:
41
42 cyrus_t
43
44 Note: semanage permissive -a cyrus_t can be used to make the process
45 type cyrus_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
46 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
47 ated.
48
49
51 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cyrus
52 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53 manipulate the policy and run cyrus with the tightest access possible.
54
55
56
57 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
58 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
61
62
63
65 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
66
67 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
68 command:
69
70 semanage port -l
71
72
73 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
74 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
75 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
76
77 The following port types are defined for cyrus:
78
79
80 cyrus_imapd_port_t
81
82
83
84 Default Defined Ports:
85 tcp 2005
86
88 The SELinux process type cyrus_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
89 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
90 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

155 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
156 type.
157
158 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
159
160 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
161 SELinux cyrus policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
162 cyrus processes in as secure a method as possible.
163
164 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
165
166 SELinux defines the file context types for the cyrus, if you wanted to
167 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
168 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
169 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
170
171 semanage fcontext -a -t cyrus_var_run_t '/srv/mycyrus_content(/.*)?'
172 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycyrus_content
173
174 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
175 match multiple files.
176
177 The following file types are defined for cyrus:
178
179
180
181 cyrus_exec_t
182
183 - Set files with the cyrus_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
184 executable to the cyrus_t domain.
185
186
187 Paths:
188 /usr/lib/cyrus/master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/master,
189 /usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-master, /usr/libexec/cyrus-imapd/cyrus-
190 master
191
192
193 cyrus_initrc_exec_t
194
195 - Set files with the cyrus_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
196 tion an executable to the cyrus_initrc_t domain.
197
198
199
200 cyrus_keytab_t
201
202 - Set files with the cyrus_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
203 files as kerberos keytab files.
204
205
206
207 cyrus_tmp_t
208
209 - Set files with the cyrus_tmp_t type, if you want to store cyrus tem‐
210 porary files in the /tmp directories.
211
212
213
214 cyrus_var_lib_t
215
216 - Set files with the cyrus_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
217 cyrus files under the /var/lib directory.
218
219
220 Paths:
221 /var/imap(/.*)?, /var/lib/imap(/.*)?
222
223
224 cyrus_var_run_t
225
226 - Set files with the cyrus_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
227 cyrus files under the /run or /var/run directory.
228
229
230
231 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
232 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
233 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
234 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
235
236
238 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
239 mappings.
240
241 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
242 process type is permissive.
243
244 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
245 icy modules.
246
247 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
248
249 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
250
251
252 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
253 icy settings.
