NAME

6       user_u - Generic unprivileged user - Security Enhanced Linux Policy
7

DESCRIPTION

10       user_u  is an SELinux User defined in the SELinux policy. SELinux users
11       have default roles, user_r.  The  default  role  has  a  default  type,
12       user_t, associated with it.
13
14       The  SELinux  user  will  usually login to a system with a context that
15       looks like:
16
17       user_u:user_r:user_t:s0
18
19       Linux users are automatically assigned an SELinux users at login.   Lo‐
20       gin  programs  use  the  SELinux  User to assign initial context to the
21       user's shell.
22
23       SELinux policy uses the context to control the user's access.
24
25       By default all users are assigned to the SELinux  user  via  the  __de‐
26       fault__ flag
27
28       On  Targeted policy systems the __default__ user is assigned to the un‐
29       confined_u SELinux user.
30
31       You can list all Linux User to SELinux user mapping using:
32
33       semanage login -l
34
35       If you wanted to change the default user  mapping  to  use  the  user_u
36       user, you would execute:
37
38       semanage login -m -s user_u __default__
39
40
41       If  you  want to map the one Linux user (joe) to the SELinux user user,
42       you would execute:
43
44       $ semanage login -a -s user_u joe

USER DESCRIPTION

49       The SELinux user user_u is defined in policy as  a  unprivileged  user.
50       SELinux  prevents  unprivileged  users  from doing administration tasks
51       without transitioning to a different role.

BOOLEANS

127       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   user
128       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
129       manipulate the policy and run user with the tightest access possible.
130
131
132
133       If you want to determine whether crond can execute jobs in the user do‐
134       main as opposed to the the generic cronjob domain, you must turn on the
135       cron_userdomain_transition boolean. Enabled by default.

149       If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
150       both  executable  and  writable,  this  is dangerous and the executable
151       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
152       ean. Enabled by default.
153
154       setsebool -P deny_execmem 1

208
209
210
211       If you want to allow unconfined executables to make  their  stack  exe‐
212       cutable.   This  should  never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
213       badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack.  This  executable
214       should  be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
215       stack boolean. Enabled by default.

271
272
273

HOME_EXEC

275       The SELinux user user_u is able execute home content files.
276
277

TRANSITIONS

279       Three things can happen when user_t attempts to execute a program.
280
281       1. SELinux Policy can deny user_t from executing the program.
282
283
284
285       2.  SELinux  Policy can allow user_t to execute the program in the cur‐
286       rent user type.
287
288              Execute the following to see the types  that  the  SELinux  user
289              user_t can execute without transitioning:
290
291              sesearch -A -s user_t -c file -p execute_no_trans
292
293
294
295       3.  SELinux can allow user_t to execute the program and transition to a
296       new type.
297
298              Execute the following to see the types  that  the  SELinux  user
299              user_t can execute and transition:
300
301              $ sesearch -A -s user_t -c process -p transition
302
303
304

MANAGED FILES

306       The  SELinux process type user_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
307       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
308       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
