6 gitosis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gitosis pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gitosis processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gitosis processes execute with the gitosis_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 gitosis_t
20
21
22
24 The gitosis_t SELinux type can be entered via the gitosis_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gitosis_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/gitosis-serve, /usr/bin/gl-auth-command
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 gitosis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gitosis
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for gitosis:
43
44 gitosis_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a gitosis_t can be used to make the process
47 type gitosis_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. gitosis
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run gitosis with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether Gitosis can send mail, you must turn
61 on the gitosis_can_sendmail boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P gitosis_can_sendmail 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 gitosis_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.
78
79 gitosis_var_lib_t
80
81 /srv/lib/gitosis(/.*)?
82 /var/lib/gitosis(/.*)?
83 /var/lib/gitolite(3)?(/.*)?
84
85
87 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
88 type.
89
90 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
91
92 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
93 SELinux gitosis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
94 gitosis processes in as secure a method as possible.
95
96 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
97
98 SELinux defines the file context types for the gitosis, if you wanted
99 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
100 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
101 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
102
103 semanage fcontext -a -t gitosis_exec_t '/srv/gitosis/content(/.*)?'
104 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygitosis_content
105
106 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
107 match multiple files.
108
109 The following file types are defined for gitosis:
110
111
112
113 gitosis_exec_t
114
115 - Set files with the gitosis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
116 executable to the gitosis_t domain.
117
118
119 Paths:
120 /usr/bin/gitosis-serve, /usr/bin/gl-auth-command
121
122
123 gitosis_var_lib_t
124
125 - Set files with the gitosis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
126 gitosis files under the /var/lib directory.
127
128
129 Paths:
130 /srv/lib/gitosis(/.*)?, /var/lib/gitosis(/.*)?, /var/lib/gito‐
131 lite(3)?(/.*)?
132
133
134 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
135 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
136 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
137 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
138
139
141 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
142 mappings.
143
144 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
145 process type is permissive.
146
147 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
148 icy modules.
149
150 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
151
152
153 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
154 icy settings.
