6 gpg_helper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg_helper
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg_helper processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gpg_helper processes execute with the gpg_helper_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 gpg_helper_t
20
21
22
24 The gpg_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpg_helper_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_helper_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys.*
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 gpg_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for gpg_helper:
43
44 gpg_helper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_helper_t can be used to make the
47 process type gpg_helper_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.
54 gpg_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run gpg_helper 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
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type gpg_helper_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 krb5_host_rcache_t
80
81 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
82 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
83 /var/tmp/nfs_0
84 /var/tmp/DNS_25
85 /var/tmp/host_0
86 /var/tmp/imap_0
87 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
88 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
89 /var/tmp/ldap_55
90 /var/tmp/ldap_487
91 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
92
93
95 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
96 type.
97
98 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
99
100 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
101 SELinux gpg_helper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
102 their gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
103
104 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
105
106 SELinux defines the file context types for the gpg_helper, if you
107 wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need
108 to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
109 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
110
111 semanage fcontext -a -t gpg_helper_exec_t '/srv/gpg_helper/con‐
112 tent(/.*)?'
113 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_helper_content
114
115 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
116 match multiple files.
117
118 The following file types are defined for gpg_helper:
119
120
121
122 gpg_helper_exec_t
123
124 - Set files with the gpg_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
125 an executable to the gpg_helper_t domain.
126
127
128
129 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
130 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
131 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
132 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
133
134
136 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
137 mappings.
138
139 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
140 process type is permissive.
141
142 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
143 icy modules.
144
145 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
146
147
148 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
149 icy settings.
