6 cpuspeed_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cpuspeed pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cpuspeed processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The cpuspeed processes execute with the cpuspeed_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep cpuspeed_t
20
21
22
24 The cpuspeed_t SELinux type can be entered via the cpuspeed_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the cpuspeed_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/cpufreqd, /usr/sbin/cpuspeed, /usr/sbin/powernowd
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 cpuspeed policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cpuspeed
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for cpuspeed:
43
44 cpuspeed_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a cpuspeed_t can be used to make the process
47 type cpuspeed_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. cpus‐
54 peed policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run cpuspeed with the tightest access
56 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
64
65
66
68 The SELinux process type cpuspeed_t can manage files labeled with the
69 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
70 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72 cpuspeed_var_run_t
73
74 /var/run/cpufreqd.pid
75
76 sysfs_t
77
78 /sys(/.*)?
79
80
82 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
83 type.
84
85 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
86
87 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
88 SELinux cpuspeed policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
89 cpuspeed processes in as secure a method as possible.
90
91 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
92
93 SELinux defines the file context types for the cpuspeed, if you wanted
94 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
95 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
96 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
97
98 semanage fcontext -a -t cpuspeed_exec_t '/srv/cpuspeed/content(/.*)?'
99 restorecon -R -v /srv/mycpuspeed_content
100
101 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
102 match multiple files.
103
104 The following file types are defined for cpuspeed:
105
106
107
108 cpuspeed_exec_t
109
110 - Set files with the cpuspeed_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
111 executable to the cpuspeed_t domain.
112
113
114 Paths:
115 /usr/sbin/cpufreqd, /usr/sbin/cpuspeed, /usr/sbin/powernowd
116
117
118 cpuspeed_var_run_t
119
120 - Set files with the cpuspeed_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
121 cpuspeed files under the /run or /var/run directory.
122
123
124
125 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
126 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
127 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
128 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
129
130
132 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
133 mappings.
134
135 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
136 process type is permissive.
137
138 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
139 icy modules.
140
141 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
142
143
144 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
145 icy settings.
