NAME

6       devicekit_power_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the de‐
7       vicekit_power processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the devicekit_power processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   devicekit_power  processes  execute  with  the  devicekit_power_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep devicekit_power_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   devicekit_power_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  de‐
25       vicekit_power_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the devicekit_power_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/upowerd,   /usr/lib/upower/upowerd,   /usr/libexec/devkit-
31       power-daemon
32

PROCESS TYPES

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       devicekit_power policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
41       devicekit_power processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for devicekit_power:
44
45       devicekit_power_t
46
47       Note:  semanage permissive -a devicekit_power_t can be used to make the
48       process type devicekit_power_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50       still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on  least  access  required.   de‐
55       vicekit_power  policy  is  extremely  flexible and has several booleans
56       that allow you to manipulate the policy and  run  devicekit_power  with
57       the tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61       If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
62       both executable and writable, this  is  dangerous  and  the  executable
63       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
64       ean. Enabled by default.
65
66       setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
67
68
69
70       If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area  of  the  address
71       space,  as  configured  by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
72       the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
73
74       setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
75
76
77
78       If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the  se‐
79       cure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
80
81       setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
82
83
84
85       If  you  want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
86       executable.  Doing this is a really  bad  idea.  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_ex‐
89       echeap boolean. Disabled by default.
90
91       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
92
93
94
95       If  you  want  to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
96       cutable.  This should never, ever be necessary.  Probably  indicates  a
97       badly  coded  executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
98       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the  selinuxuser_exec‐
99       stack boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

MANAGED FILES

106       The  SELinux  process  type  devicekit_power_t can manage files labeled
107       with the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths
108       for  these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
109       permissions.
110
111       file_type
112
113            all files on the system
114
115

FILE CONTEXTS

117       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
118       type.
119
120       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
121
122       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
123       SELinux devicekit_power policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
124       their devicekit_power processes in as secure a method as possible.
125
126       The following file types are defined for devicekit_power:
127
128
129
130       devicekit_power_exec_t
131
132       -  Set files with the devicekit_power_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
133       sition an executable to the devicekit_power_t domain.
134
135
136       Paths:
137            /usr/libexec/upowerd,  /usr/lib/upower/upowerd,   /usr/libexec/de‐
138            vkit-power-daemon
139
140
141       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
142       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
143       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
144       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
145
146

COMMANDS

148       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
149       mappings.
150
151       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
152       process type is permissive.
153
154       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
155       icy modules.
156
157       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
158
159
160       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
161       icy settings.
