6 dhcpc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dhcpc processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dhcpc processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The dhcpc processes execute with the dhcpc_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 dhcpc_t
19
20
21
23 The dhcpc_t SELinux type can be entered via the dhcpc_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the dhcpc_t domain are the following:
26
27 /sbin/dhclient.*, /usr/sbin/dhclient.*, /sbin/pump, /sbin/dhcdbd,
28 /sbin/dhcpcd, /usr/sbin/pump, /usr/sbin/dhcdbd, /usr/sbin/dhcpcd
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 dhcpc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dhcpc pro‐
38 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40 The following process types are defined for dhcpc:
41
42 dhcpc_t
43
44 Note: semanage permissive -a dhcpc_t can be used to make the process
45 type dhcpc_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. dhcpc
52 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
53 manipulate the policy and run dhcpc with the tightest access possible.
54
55
56
57 If you want to allow dhcpc client applications to execute iptables com‐
58 mands, you must turn on the dhcpc_exec_iptables boolean. Disabled by
59 default.
60
61 setsebool -P dhcpc_exec_iptables 1
62
63
64
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
66 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
69
70
71
73 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
74
75 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
76 command:
77
78 semanage port -l
79
80
81 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
82 SELinux dhcpc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
83 dhcpc processes in as secure a method as possible.
84
85 The following port types are defined for dhcpc:
86
87
88 dhcpc_port_t
89
90
91
92 Default Defined Ports:
93 tcp 68,546,5546
94 udp 68,546,5546
95
97 The SELinux process type dhcpc_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
98 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

213 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
214 type.
215
216 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
217
218 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
219 SELinux dhcpc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
220 dhcpc processes in as secure a method as possible.
221
222 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
223
224 SELinux defines the file context types for the dhcpc, if you wanted to
225 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
226 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
227 storecon to put the labels on disk.
228
229 semanage fcontext -a -t dhcpc_var_run_t '/srv/mydhcpc_content(/.*)?'
230 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydhcpc_content
231
232 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
233 match multiple files.
234
235 The following file types are defined for dhcpc:
236
237
238
239 dhcpc_exec_t
240
241 - Set files with the dhcpc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
242 executable to the dhcpc_t domain.
243
244
245 Paths:
246 /sbin/dhclient.*, /usr/sbin/dhclient.*, /sbin/pump, /sbin/dhcdbd,
247 /sbin/dhcpcd, /usr/sbin/pump, /usr/sbin/dhcdbd, /usr/sbin/dhcpcd
248
249
250 dhcpc_helper_exec_t
251
252 - Set files with the dhcpc_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
253 tion an executable to the dhcpc_helper_t domain.
254
255
256
257 dhcpc_state_t
258
259 - Set files with the dhcpc_state_t type, if you want to treat the files
260 as dhcpc state data.
261
262
263 Paths:
264 /var/lib/dhcp3?/dhclient.*, /var/lib/dhcpcd(/.*)?,
265 /var/lib/dhclient(/.*)?, /var/lib/wifiroamd(/.*)?
266
267
268 dhcpc_tmp_t
269
270 - Set files with the dhcpc_tmp_t type, if you want to store dhcpc tem‐
271 porary files in the /tmp directories.
272
273
274
275 dhcpc_var_run_t
276
277 - Set files with the dhcpc_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
278 dhcpc files under the /run or /var/run directory.
279
280
281 Paths:
282 /var/run/dhcpcd(/.*)?, /var/run/dhclient.*
283
284
285 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
286 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
287 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
288 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
289
290
292 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
293 mappings.
294
295 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
296 process type is permissive.
297
298 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
299 icy modules.
300
301 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
302
303 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
304
305
306 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
307 icy settings.
