6 netutils_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the netutils pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the netutils processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The netutils processes execute with the netutils_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 netutils_t
20
21
22
24 The netutils_t SELinux type can be entered via the netutils_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the netutils_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /bin/arping, /sbin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping, /usr/sbin/tcpdump
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 netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their netutils
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for netutils:
43
44 netutils_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a netutils_t can be used to make the process
47 type netutils_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. netu‐
54 tils policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run netutils with the tightest access
56 possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
61 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
62 Enabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
76 The SELinux process type netutils_t can manage files labeled with the
77 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
78 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
79
80 krb5_host_rcache_t
81
82 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
83 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
84 /var/tmp/nfs_0
85 /var/tmp/DNS_25
86 /var/tmp/host_0
87 /var/tmp/imap_0
88 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
89 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
90 /var/tmp/ldap_55
91 /var/tmp/ldap_487
92 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
93
94 netutils_tmp_t

97
99 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
100 type.
101
102 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
103
104 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
105 SELinux netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
106 netutils processes in as secure a method as possible.
107
108 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
109
110 SELinux defines the file context types for the netutils, if you wanted
111 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
112 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
113 storecon to put the labels on disk.
114
115 semanage fcontext -a -t netutils_tmp_t '/srv/mynetutils_content(/.*)?'
116 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynetutils_content
117
118 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
119 match multiple files.
120
121 The following file types are defined for netutils:
122
123
124
125 netutils_exec_t
126
127 - Set files with the netutils_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
128 executable to the netutils_t domain.
129
130
131 Paths:
132 /bin/arping, /sbin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping, /usr/sbin/tcpdump
133
134
135 netutils_tmp_t
136
137 - Set files with the netutils_tmp_t type, if you want to store netutils
138 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
139
140
141
142 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
143 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
144 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
145 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
146
147
149 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
150 mappings.
151
152 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
153 process type is permissive.
154
155 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
156 icy modules.
157
158 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
159
160
161 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
162 icy settings.
