7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cpucontrol processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The cpucontrol processes execute with the cpucontrol_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep cpucontrol_t
20
21
22
24 The cpucontrol_t SELinux type can be entered via the cpucontrol_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the cpucontrol_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/libexec/mi‐
31 crocode_ctl/reload_microcode
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 cpucontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cpu‐
41 control processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for cpucontrol:
44
45 cpucontrol_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a cpucontrol_t can be used to make the
48 process type cpucontrol_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cpucon‐
55 trol policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run cpucontrol with the tightest ac‐
57 cess possible.
58
59
60
61 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
64 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
69 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72
73
74
76 The SELinux process type cpucontrol_t can manage files labeled with the
77 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
78 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
79
80 krb5_host_rcache_t
81
82 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
83 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
84 /var/tmp/nfs_0
85 /var/tmp/DNS_25
86 /var/tmp/host_0
87 /var/tmp/imap_0

92 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

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 cpucontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
107 their cpucontrol processes in as secure a method as possible.
108
109 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
110
111 SELinux defines the file context types for the cpucontrol, if you
112 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
113 execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
114 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
115
116 semanage fcontext -a -t cpucontrol_conf_t '/srv/mycpucontrol_con‐
117 tent(/.*)?'
118 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycpucontrol_content
119
120 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
121 match multiple files.
122
123 The following file types are defined for cpucontrol:
124
125
126
127 cpucontrol_conf_t
128
129 - Set files with the cpucontrol_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
130 files as cpucontrol configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
131 directory.
132
133
134
135 cpucontrol_exec_t
136
137 - Set files with the cpucontrol_exec_t type, if you want to transition
138 an executable to the cpucontrol_t domain.
139
140
141 Paths:
142 /sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/sbin/microcode_ctl, /usr/libexec/mi‐
143 crocode_ctl/reload_microcode
144
145
146 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
147 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
148 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
149 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
150
151
153 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
154 mappings.
155
156 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
157 process type is permissive.
158
159 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
160 icy modules.
161
162 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
163
164
165 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
166 icy settings.
