6 unconfined_mount_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the un‐
7 confined_mount processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the unconfined_mount processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The unconfined_mount processes execute with the unconfined_mount_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep unconfined_mount_t
20
21
22
24 The unconfined_mount_t SELinux type can be entered via the mount_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the unconfined_mount_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /bin/mount.*, /bin/umount.*, /sbin/mount.*, /sbin/umount.*,
31 /usr/bin/mount.*, /usr/bin/umount.*, /usr/sbin/mount.*,
32 /usr/sbin/umount.*
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 unconfined_mount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
42 unconfined_mount processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for unconfined_mount:
45
46 unconfined_mount_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a unconfined_mount_t can be used to make the
49 process type unconfined_mount_t permissive. SELinux does not deny ac‐
50 cess to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
51 sages are still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. uncon‐
56 fined_mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
57 allow you to manipulate the policy and run unconfined_mount with the
58 tightest access possible.

61
62 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
63 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
64 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
65 ean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
72 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
73 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
74
75 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
76
77
78
79 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the se‐
80 cure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
83
84
85
86 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
87 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
88 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
89 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_ex‐
90 echeap boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
97 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
98 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
99 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
100 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
101
102 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

107 The SELinux process type unconfined_mount_t can manage files labeled
108 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
109 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
110 permissions.
111
112 file_type
113
114 all files on the system
115
116
118 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
119 mappings.
120
121 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
122 process type is permissive.
123
124 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
125 icy modules.
126
127 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
128
129
130 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
131 icy settings.
