NAME

6       anaconda_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the anaconda pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  anaconda  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  anaconda  processes  execute with the anaconda_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 anaconda_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The anaconda_t SELinux type can be entered via the anaconda_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the anaconda_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:

PROCESS TYPES

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       anaconda policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their anaconda
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for anaconda:
43
44       anaconda_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a anaconda_t can be used to make the process
47       type  anaconda_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  ana‐
54       conda policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you  to manipulate the policy and run anaconda with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area  of  the  address
61       space,  as  configured  by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
62       the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the  se‐
69       cure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
72
73
74
75       If  you  want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
76       executable.  Doing this is a really  bad  idea.  Probably  indicates  a
77       badly  coded  executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
78       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn  on  the  selinuxuser_ex‐
79       echeap boolean. Disabled by default.
80
81       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
82
83
84
85       If  you  want  to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
86       cutable.  This should never, ever be necessary.  Probably  indicates  a
87       badly  coded  executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
88       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the  selinuxuser_exec‐
89       stack boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

MANAGED FILES

96       The  SELinux  process type anaconda_t can manage files labeled with the
97       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
98       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
99
100       file_type
101
102            all files on the system
103
104

COMMANDS

106       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
107       mappings.
108
109       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
110       process type is permissive.
111
112       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
113       icy modules.
114
115       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
116
117
118       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
119       icy settings.
