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/bin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping,
31 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
32
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 netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their netutils
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for netutils:
44
45 netutils_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a netutils_t can be used to make the process
48 type netutils_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. netu‐
55 tils policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run netutils with the tightest access
57 possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
62 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
63 Enabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
77 The SELinux process type netutils_t can manage files labeled with the
78 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
79 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

81 krb5_host_rcache_t
82
83 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
84 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
85 /var/tmp/nfs_0
86 /var/tmp/DNS_25
87 /var/tmp/host_0
88 /var/tmp/imap_0
89 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
90 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
91 /var/tmp/ldap_55

100 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
101 type.
102
103 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
104
105 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
106 SELinux netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
107 netutils processes in as secure a method as possible.
108
109 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
110
111 SELinux defines the file context types for the netutils, if you wanted
112 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
113 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
114 storecon to put the labels on disk.
115
116 semanage fcontext -a -t netutils_tmp_t '/srv/mynetutils_content(/.*)?'
117 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynetutils_content
118
119 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
120 match multiple files.
121
122 The following file types are defined for netutils:
123
124
125
126 netutils_exec_t
127
128 - Set files with the netutils_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
129 executable to the netutils_t domain.
130
131
132 Paths:
133 /bin/arping, /sbin/arping, /usr/bin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping,
134 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
135
136
137 netutils_tmp_t
138
139 - Set files with the netutils_tmp_t type, if you want to store netutils
140 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
141
142
143
144 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
145 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
146 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
147 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
148
149
151 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
152 mappings.
153
154 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
155 process type is permissive.
156
157 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
158 icy modules.
159
160 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
161
162
163 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
164 icy settings.
