6 load_policy_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_pol‐
7 icy processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep load_policy_t
20
24 The load_policy_t SELinux type can be entered via the load_pol‐
25 icy_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the load_policy_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 load_policy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for load_policy:
43 load_policy_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a load_policy_t can be used to make the
47 process type load_policy_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 load_policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run load_policy with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
68 The SELinux process type load_policy_t can manage files labeled with
69 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
70 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71 missions.
72 boolean_type
74
78 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
79 type.
80 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
82 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
84 SELinux load_policy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
85 their load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
86 The following file types are defined for load_policy:
88 load_policy_exec_t
92 - Set files with the load_policy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
94 an executable to the load_policy_t domain.
95 Paths:
98 /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
99 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
102 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
103 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
104 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
105
108 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
109 mappings.
110 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
112 process type is permissive.
113 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
115 icy modules.
116 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
118 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
121 icy settings.
