NAME

6       kernel_generic_helper_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7       kernel_generic_helper processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the kernel_generic_helper processes via
11       flexible mandatory access control.
12
13       The    kernel_generic_helper    processes   execute   with   the   ker‐
14       nel_generic_helper_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these pro‐
15       cesses running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep kernel_generic_helper_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  kernel_generic_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the bin_t,
25       usr_t file types.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the kernel_generic_helper_t domain are
28       the following:
29
30       All  executables  with  the default executable label, usually stored in
31       /usr/bin and /usr/sbin.   /opt/.*,  /usr/.*,  /emul/.*,  /export(/.*)?,
32       /ostree(/.*)?,       /usr/doc(/.*)?/lib(/.*)?,      /usr/inclu.e(/.*)?,
33       /usr/share/rpm(/.*)?,   /usr/share/doc(/.*)?/README.*,    /usr/lib/mod‐
34       ules(/.*)/vmlinuz, /usr/lib/modules(/.*)/initramfs.img, /usr/lib/sysim‐
35       age(/.*)?, /usr/lib/ostree-boot(/.*)?, /opt, /usr, /emul

PROCESS TYPES

38       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
39       system
40
41       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
42
43       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
44       kernel_generic_helper policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup
45       their  kernel_generic_helper  processes in as secure a method as possi‐
46       ble.
47
48       The following process types are defined for kernel_generic_helper:
49
50       kernel_generic_helper_t
51
52       Note: semanage permissive -a kernel_generic_helper_t  can  be  used  to
53       make  the process type kernel_generic_helper_t permissive. SELinux does
54       not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC  (SELinux  de‐
55       nials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS

59       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  ker‐
60       nel_generic_helper policy is extremely flexible and has  several  bool‐
61       eans   that   allow   you   to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run  ker‐
62       nel_generic_helper with the tightest access possible.
63
64
65
66       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
67       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
68
69       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

COMMANDS

74       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
75       mappings.
76
77       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
78       process type is permissive.
79
80       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
81       icy modules.
82
83       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
84
85
86       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
87       icy settings.
