6 rpmdb_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rpmdb processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rpmdb processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The rpmdb processes execute with the rpmdb_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 rpmdb_t
19
20
21
23 The rpmdb_t SELinux type can be entered via the rpmdb_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the rpmdb_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/rpmdb
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 rpmdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rpmdb pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for rpmdb:
40
41 rpmdb_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a rpmdb_t can be used to make the process
44 type rpmdb_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. rpmdb
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run rpmdb with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
64 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
65 type.
66
67 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
68
69 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
70 SELinux rpmdb policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rp‐
71 mdb processes in as secure a method as possible.
72
73 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
74
75 SELinux defines the file context types for the rpmdb, if you wanted to
76 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
77 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
78 storecon to put the labels on disk.
79
80 semanage fcontext -a -t rpmdb_tmp_t '/srv/myrpmdb_content(/.*)?'
81 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrpmdb_content
82
83 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
84 match multiple files.
85
86 The following file types are defined for rpmdb:
87
88
89
90 rpmdb_exec_t
91
92 - Set files with the rpmdb_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
93 executable to the rpmdb_t domain.
94
95
96
97 rpmdb_tmp_t
98
99 - Set files with the rpmdb_tmp_t type, if you want to store rpmdb tem‐
100 porary files in the /tmp directories.
101
102
103
104 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
105 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
106 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
107 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
108
109
111 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
112 mappings.
113
114 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
115 process type is permissive.
116
117 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
118 icy modules.
119
120 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
121
122
123 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
124 icy settings.
