6 initrc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the initrc pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the initrc processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The initrc processes execute with the initrc_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 initrc_t
20

239 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
240 system
241
242 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
243
244 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
245 initrc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their initrc
246 processes in as secure a method as possible.
247
248 The following process types are defined for initrc:

250 initrc_t
251
252 Note: semanage permissive -a initrc_t can be used to make the process
253 type initrc_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
254 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
255 ated.
256
257
259 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. initrc
260 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
261 manipulate the policy and run initrc with the tightest access possible.
262
263
264
265 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
266 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
267 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
268 ean. Disabled by default.
269
270 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
271
272
273
274 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
275 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
276 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
277
278 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
279
280
281
282 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
283 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
284
285 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
286
287
288
289 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the se‐
290 cure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default.
291
292 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
293
294
295
296 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
297 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
298 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
299 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_ex‐
300 echeap boolean. Disabled by default.
301
302 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
303
304
305
306 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
307 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
308 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
309 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
310 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
311
312 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
313
314
315
317 The SELinux process type initrc_t can manage files labeled with the
318 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
319 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
320
321 file_type
322
323 all files on the system
324
325
327 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
328 type.
329
330 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
331
332 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
333 SELinux initrc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
334 initrc processes in as secure a method as possible.
335
336 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
337
338 SELinux defines the file context types for the initrc, if you wanted to
339 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
340 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
341 storecon to put the labels on disk.
342
343 semanage fcontext -a -t initrc_exec_t '/srv/initrc/content(/.*)?'
344 restorecon -R -v /srv/myinitrc_content
345
346 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
347 match multiple files.
348
349 The following file types are defined for initrc:
350
351
352
353 initrc_devpts_t
354
355 - Set files with the initrc_devpts_t type, if you want to treat the
356 files as initrc devpts data.
357
358
359
360 initrc_exec_t
361
362 - Set files with the initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
363 executable to the initrc_t domain.
364
365
366 Paths:
367 /etc/init.d/.*, /etc/rc.d/rc.[^/]+, /etc/rc.d/init.d/.*,
368 /opt/nfast/sbin/init.d-ncipher, /usr/libexec/dcc/stop-.*,
369 /usr/libexec/dcc/start-.*, /usr/lib/systemd/fedora[^/]*,
370 /opt/nfast/scripts/init.d/(.*), /etc/rc.d/rc, /etc/X11/prefdm,
371 /usr/sbin/startx, /usr/bin/sepg_ctl, /usr/sbin/start-dirsrv,
372 /usr/sbin/open_init_pty, /usr/sbin/restart-dirsrv, /etc/syscon‐
373 fig/network-scripts/ifup-ipsec, /usr/share/system-config-ser‐
374 vices/system-config-services-mechanism.py
375
376
377 initrc_state_t
378
379 - Set files with the initrc_state_t type, if you want to treat the
380 files as initrc state data.
381
382
383
384 initrc_tmp_t
385
386 - Set files with the initrc_tmp_t type, if you want to store initrc
387 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
388
389
390
391 initrc_var_log_t
392
393 - Set files with the initrc_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
394 data as initrc var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
395 tory.
396
397
398
399 initrc_var_run_t
400
401 - Set files with the initrc_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
402 initrc files under the /run or /var/run directory.
403
404
405 Paths:
406 /var/run/utmp, /var/run/random-seed, /var/run/runlevel.dir,
407 /var/run/setmixer_flag
408
409
410 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
411 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
412 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
413 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
414
415
417 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
418 mappings.
419
420 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
421 process type is permissive.
422
423 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
424 icy modules.
425
426 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
427
428
429 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
430 icy settings.
