7 Linux Policy

11 xguest_u is an SELinux User defined in the SELinux policy. SELinux
12 users have default roles, xguest_r. The default role has a default
13 type, xguest_t, associated with it.
14 The SELinux user will usually login to a system with a context that
16 looks like:
17 xguest_u:xguest_r:xguest_t:s0
19 Linux users are automatically assigned an SELinux users at login. Lo‐
21 gin programs use the SELinux User to assign initial context to the
22 user's shell.
23 SELinux policy uses the context to control the user's access.
25 By default all users are assigned to the SELinux user via the __de‐
27 fault__ flag
28 On Targeted policy systems the __default__ user is assigned to the un‐
30 confined_u SELinux user.
31 You can list all Linux User to SELinux user mapping using:
33 semanage login -l
35 If you wanted to change the default user mapping to use the xguest_u
37 user, you would execute:
38 semanage login -m -s xguest_u __default__
40 If you want to map the one Linux user (joe) to the SELinux user xguest,
43 you would execute:
44 $ semanage login -a -s xguest_u joe
46
50 The SELinux user xguest_u is defined in policy as a unprivileged user.
51 SELinux prevents unprivileged users from doing administration tasks
52 without transitioning to a different role.
53
57 The SELinux user xguest_u is able to X Windows login.

61 The SELinux user xguest_u is able to listen on the following tcp ports.

143 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. xguest
144 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
145 manipulate the policy and run xguest with the tightest access possible.
146 If you want to allow xguest users to configure Network Manager and con‐
150 nect to apache ports, you must turn on the xguest_connect_network bool‐
151 ean. Enabled by default.
152 setsebool -P xguest_connect_network 1
154 If you want to allow xguest users to mount removable media, you must
158 turn on the xguest_mount_media boolean. Enabled by default.
159 setsebool -P xguest_mount_media 1
161 If you want to allow xguest to use blue tooth devices, you must turn on
165 the xguest_use_bluetooth boolean. Enabled by default.
166 setsebool -P xguest_use_bluetooth 1
168 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
172 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
173 Enabled by default.
174 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
176 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
180 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
181 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
182 ean. Enabled by default.
183 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
185 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
189 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by de‐
190 fault.
191 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
193 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
197 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
198 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
200 If you want to allow httpd cgi support, you must turn on the httpd_en‐
204 able_cgi boolean. Enabled by default.
205 setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 1
207 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
211 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
212 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
214 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
218 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
219 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
220 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
221 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
222 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
224 If you want to allow user to r/w files on filesystems that do not have
228 extended attributes (FAT, CDROM, FLOPPY), you must turn on the selin‐
229 uxuser_rw_noexattrfile boolean. Disabled by default.
230 setsebool -P selinuxuser_rw_noexattrfile 1
232 If you want to allow user to use ssh chroot environment, you must turn
236 on the selinuxuser_use_ssh_chroot boolean. Disabled by default.
237 setsebool -P selinuxuser_use_ssh_chroot 1
239 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
243 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
244 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
246 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
250 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
251 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
253
257 The SELinux user xguest_u is able execute home content files.
258
261 Three things can happen when xguest_t attempts to execute a program.
262 1. SELinux Policy can deny xguest_t from executing the program.
264 2. SELinux Policy can allow xguest_t to execute the program in the cur‐
268 rent user type.
269 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
271 xguest_t can execute without transitioning:
272 sesearch -A -s xguest_t -c file -p execute_no_trans
274 3. SELinux can allow xguest_t to execute the program and transition to
278 a new type.
279 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
281 xguest_t can execute and transition:
282 $ sesearch -A -s xguest_t -c process -p transition
284
288 The SELinux process type xguest_t can manage files labeled with the
289 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
290 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

389 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
390 mappings.
391 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
393 process type is permissive.
394 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
396 icy modules.
397 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
399 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
402 icy settings.
