6 mailman_cgi_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mail‐
7 man_cgi processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_cgi processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mailman_cgi processes execute with the mailman_cgi_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 mailman_cgi_t
20
21
22
24 The mailman_cgi_t SELinux type can be entered via the mail‐
25 man_cgi_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_cgi_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 mailman_cgi policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mail‐
40 man_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for mailman_cgi:
43
44 mailman_cgi_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_cgi_t can be used to make the
47 process type mailman_cgi_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mail‐
54 man_cgi policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that al‐
55 low you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_cgi with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1

65
66
68 The SELinux process type mailman_cgi_t can manage files labeled with
69 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
70 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71 missions.

115 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
116 type.
117
118 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
119
120 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
121 SELinux mailman_cgi policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
122 their mailman_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
123
124 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
125
126 SELinux defines the file context types for the mailman_cgi, if you
127 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
128 execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
129 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
130
131 semanage fcontext -a -t mailman_cgi_tmp_t '/srv/mymailman_cgi_con‐
132 tent(/.*)?'
133 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_cgi_content
134
135 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
136 match multiple files.
137
138 The following file types are defined for mailman_cgi:
139
140
141
142 mailman_cgi_exec_t
143
144 - Set files with the mailman_cgi_exec_t type, if you want to transition
145 an executable to the mailman_cgi_t domain.
146
147
148 Paths:
149 /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
150
151
152 mailman_cgi_tmp_t
153
154 - Set files with the mailman_cgi_tmp_t type, if you want to store mail‐
155 man cgi temporary files in the /tmp directories.
156
157
158
159 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
160 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
161 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
162 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
163
164
166 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
167 mappings.
168
169 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
170 process type is permissive.
171
172 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
173 icy modules.
174
175 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
176
177
178 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
179 icy settings.
