6 fprintd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the fprintd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fprintd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The fprintd processes execute with the fprintd_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep fprintd_t
20
21
22
24 The fprintd_t SELinux type can be entered via the fprintd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the fprintd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/fprintd
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 fprintd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fprintd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for fprintd:
43
44 fprintd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a fprintd_t can be used to make the process
47 type fprintd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. fprintd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run fprintd with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type fprintd_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

120 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
121 type.
122
123 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
124
125 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
126 SELinux fprintd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
127 fprintd processes in as secure a method as possible.
128
129 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
130
131 SELinux defines the file context types for the fprintd, if you wanted
132 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
133 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
134 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
135
136 semanage fcontext -a -t fprintd_tmp_t '/srv/myfprintd_content(/.*)?'
137 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfprintd_content
138
139 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
140 match multiple files.
141
142 The following file types are defined for fprintd:
143
144
145
146 fprintd_exec_t
147
148 - Set files with the fprintd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
149 executable to the fprintd_t domain.
150
151
152
153 fprintd_tmp_t
154
155 - Set files with the fprintd_tmp_t type, if you want to store fprintd
156 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
157
158
159
160 fprintd_var_lib_t
161
162 - Set files with the fprintd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
163 fprintd files under the /var/lib directory.
164
165
166
167 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
168 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
169 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
170 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
171
172
174 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
175 mappings.
176
177 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
178 process type is permissive.
179
180 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
181 icy modules.
182
183 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
184
185
186 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
187 icy settings.
