6 NetworkManager_priv_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for
7 the NetworkManager_priv_helper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the NetworkManager_priv_helper pro‐
11 cesses via flexible mandatory access control.
12 The NetworkManager_priv_helper processes execute with the NetworkMan‐
14 ager_priv_helper_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these pro‐
15 cesses running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep NetworkManager_priv_helper_t
20
24 The NetworkManager_priv_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 NetworkManager_priv_helper_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the NetworkManager_priv_helper_t do‐
28 main are the following:
29 /usr/libexec/nm-priv-helper
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 NetworkManager_priv_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to
40 setup their NetworkManager_priv_helper processes in as secure a method
41 as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for NetworkManager_priv_helper:
44 NetworkManager_priv_helper_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a NetworkManager_priv_helper_t can be used
48 to make the process type NetworkManager_priv_helper_t permissive.
49 SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC
50 (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. Net‐
55 workManager_priv_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several
56 booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run NetworkMan‐
57 ager_priv_helper with the tightest access possible.
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
69 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
70 type.
71 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
73 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
75 SELinux NetworkManager_priv_helper policy is very flexible allowing
76 users to setup their NetworkManager_priv_helper processes in as secure
77 a method as possible.
78 The following file types are defined for NetworkManager_priv_helper:
80 NetworkManager_priv_helper_exec_t
84 - Set files with the NetworkManager_priv_helper_exec_t type, if you
86 want to transition an executable to the NetworkManager_priv_helper_t
87 domain.
88 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
92 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
93 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
94 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
95
98 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
99 mappings.
100 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
102 process type is permissive.
103 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
105 icy modules.
106 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
108 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
111 icy settings.
