6 dnsmasq_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dnsmasq pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dnsmasq processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The dnsmasq processes execute with the dnsmasq_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep dnsmasq_t
20
21
22
24 The dnsmasq_t SELinux type can be entered via the dnsmasq_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the dnsmasq_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq
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 dnsmasq policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dnsmasq
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for dnsmasq:
43
44 dnsmasq_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a dnsmasq_t can be used to make the process
47 type dnsmasq_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. dnsmasq
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run dnsmasq with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow the dnsmasq to creating and using netlink_sockets,
61 you must turn on the dnsmasq_use_ipset boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P dnsmasq_use_ipset 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
68 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type dnsmasq_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

197 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
198 type.
199
200 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
201
202 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
203 SELinux dnsmasq policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
204 dnsmasq processes in as secure a method as possible.
205
206 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
207
208 SELinux defines the file context types for the dnsmasq, if you wanted
209 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
210 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
211 storecon to put the labels on disk.
212
213 semanage fcontext -a -t dnsmasq_tmp_t '/srv/mydnsmasq_content(/.*)?'
214 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydnsmasq_content
215
216 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
217 match multiple files.
218
219 The following file types are defined for dnsmasq:
220
221
222
223 dnsmasq_etc_t
224
225 - Set files with the dnsmasq_etc_t type, if you want to store dnsmasq
226 files in the /etc directories.
227
228
229 Paths:
230 /etc/dnsmasq.d(/.*)?, /etc/dnsmasq.conf
231
232
233 dnsmasq_exec_t
234
235 - Set files with the dnsmasq_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
236 executable to the dnsmasq_t domain.
237
238
239
240 dnsmasq_initrc_exec_t
241
242 - Set files with the dnsmasq_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
243 tion an executable to the dnsmasq_initrc_t domain.
244
245
246
247 dnsmasq_lease_t
248
249 - Set files with the dnsmasq_lease_t type, if you want to treat the
250 files as dnsmasq lease data.
251
252
253 Paths:
254 /var/lib/dnsmasq(/.*)?, /var/lib/misc/dnsmasq.leases
255
256
257 dnsmasq_tmp_t
258
259 - Set files with the dnsmasq_tmp_t type, if you want to store dnsmasq
260 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
261
262
263
264 dnsmasq_unit_file_t
265
266 - Set files with the dnsmasq_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
267 files as dnsmasq unit content.
268
269
270
271 dnsmasq_var_log_t
272
273 - Set files with the dnsmasq_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
274 data as dnsmasq var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
275 tory.
276
277
278
279 dnsmasq_var_run_t
280
281 - Set files with the dnsmasq_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
282 dnsmasq files under the /run or /var/run directory.
283
284
285 Paths:
286 /var/run/dnsmasq.*, /var/run/libvirt/network(/.*)?
287
288
289 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
290 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
291 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
292 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
293
294
296 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
297 mappings.
298
299 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
300 process type is permissive.
301
302 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
303 icy modules.
304
305 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
306
307
308 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
309 icy settings.
