6 gpg_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The gpg processes execute with the gpg_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep gpg_t
19
20
21
23 The gpg_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpg_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/gpg(2)?, /usr/lib/gnupg/.*, /usr/bin/gpgsm
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 gpg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpg processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for gpg:
40
41 gpg_t, gpg_agent_t, gpg_helper_t, gpg_pinentry_t, gpg_web_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_t can be used to make the process type
44 gpg_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gpg
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run gpg with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
56 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
57
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
59
60
61
63 The SELinux process type gpg_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
64 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
65 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

165 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
166 type.
167
168 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
169
170 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
171 SELinux gpg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpg
172 processes in as secure a method as possible.
173
174 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
175
176 SELinux defines the file context types for the gpg, if you wanted to
177 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
178 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
179 storecon to put the labels on disk.
180
181 semanage fcontext -a -t gpg_tmpfs_t '/srv/mygpg_content(/.*)?'
182 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_content
183
184 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
185 match multiple files.
186
187 The following file types are defined for gpg:
188
189
190
191 gpg_agent_exec_t
192
193 - Set files with the gpg_agent_exec_t type, if you want to transition
194 an executable to the gpg_agent_t domain.
195
196
197
198 gpg_agent_tmp_t
199
200 - Set files with the gpg_agent_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpg
201 agent temporary files in the /tmp directories.
202
203
204
205 gpg_agent_tmpfs_t
206
207 - Set files with the gpg_agent_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store gpg
208 agent files on a tmpfs file system.
209
210
211
212 gpg_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the gpg_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
215 cutable to the gpg_t domain.
216
217
218 Paths:
219 /usr/bin/gpg(2)?, /usr/lib/gnupg/.*, /usr/bin/gpgsm
220
221
222 gpg_helper_exec_t
223
224 - Set files with the gpg_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
225 an executable to the gpg_helper_t domain.
226
227
228
229 gpg_pinentry_tmp_t
230
231 - Set files with the gpg_pinentry_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpg
232 pinentry temporary files in the /tmp directories.
233
234
235
236 gpg_pinentry_tmpfs_t
237
238 - Set files with the gpg_pinentry_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
239 gpg pinentry files on a tmpfs file system.
240
241
242
243 gpg_secret_t
244
245 - Set files with the gpg_secret_t type, if you want to treat the files
246 as gpg secret data.
247
248
249 Paths:
250 /root/.gnupg(/.+)?, /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys(/.*)?,
251 /home/[^/]+/.gnupg(/.+)?
252
253
254 gpg_tmpfs_t
255
256 - Set files with the gpg_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store gpg files
257 on a tmpfs file system.
258
259
260
261 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
262 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
263 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
264 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
265
266
268 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
269 mappings.
270
271 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
272 process type is permissive.
273
274 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
275 icy modules.
276
277 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
278
279
280 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
281 icy settings.
