6 mdadm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mdadm processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mdadm processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The mdadm processes execute with the mdadm_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 mdadm_t
19
20
21
23 The mdadm_t SELinux type can be entered via the mdadm_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the mdadm_t domain are the following:
26
27 /sbin/mdadm, /sbin/mdmon, /sbin/mdmpd, /sbin/iprdump, /sbin/iprinit,
28 /sbin/iprupdate, /usr/sbin/mdadm, /usr/sbin/mdmon, /usr/sbin/mdmpd,
29 /sbin/raid-check, /usr/sbin/iprdump, /usr/sbin/iprinit,
30 /usr/sbin/iprupdate, /usr/sbin/raid-check
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 mdadm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mdadm pro‐
40 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for mdadm:
43
44 mdadm_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a mdadm_t can be used to make the process
47 type mdadm_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. mdadm
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run mdadm with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
60 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
63
64
65
66 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
67 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
68
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
70
71
72
74 The SELinux process type mdadm_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
75 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
76 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

168 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
169 type.
170
171 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
172
173 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
174 SELinux mdadm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
175 mdadm processes in as secure a method as possible.
176
177 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
178
179 SELinux defines the file context types for the mdadm, if you wanted to
180 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
181 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
182 storecon to put the labels on disk.
183
184 semanage fcontext -a -t mdadm_log_t '/srv/mymdadm_content(/.*)?'
185 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymdadm_content
186
187 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
188 match multiple files.
189
190 The following file types are defined for mdadm:
191
192
193
194 mdadm_conf_t
195
196 - Set files with the mdadm_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
197 as mdadm configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
198
199
200 Paths:
201 /etc/mdadm.conf, /etc/mdadm.conf.anacbak
202
203
204 mdadm_exec_t
205
206 - Set files with the mdadm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
207 executable to the mdadm_t domain.
208
209
210 Paths:
211 /sbin/mdadm, /sbin/mdmon, /sbin/mdmpd, /sbin/iprdump,
212 /sbin/iprinit, /sbin/iprupdate, /usr/sbin/mdadm, /usr/sbin/mdmon,
213 /usr/sbin/mdmpd, /sbin/raid-check, /usr/sbin/iprdump,
214 /usr/sbin/iprinit, /usr/sbin/iprupdate, /usr/sbin/raid-check
215
216
217 mdadm_initrc_exec_t
218
219 - Set files with the mdadm_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
220 tion an executable to the mdadm_initrc_t domain.
221
222
223
224 mdadm_log_t
225
226 - Set files with the mdadm_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
227 mdadm log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
228
229
230 Paths:
231 /var/log/iprdump.*, /var/log/iprdbg
232
233
234 mdadm_tmp_t
235
236 - Set files with the mdadm_tmp_t type, if you want to store mdadm tem‐
237 porary files in the /tmp directories.
238
239
240
241 mdadm_tmpfs_t
242
243 - Set files with the mdadm_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store mdadm
244 files on a tmpfs file system.
245
246
247
248 mdadm_unit_file_t
249
250 - Set files with the mdadm_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
251 files as mdadm unit content.
252
253
254 Paths:
255 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mdmon@.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/mdmoni‐
256 tor.*
257
258
259 mdadm_var_run_t
260
261 - Set files with the mdadm_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
262 mdadm files under the /run or /var/run directory.
263
264
265 Paths:
266 /dev/md/.*, /var/run/mdadm(/.*)?, /dev/.mdadm.map
267
268
269 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
270 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
271 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
272 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
273
274
276 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
277 mappings.
278
279 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
280 process type is permissive.
281
282 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
283 icy modules.
284
285 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
286
287
288 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
289 icy settings.
