6 kernel_systemctl_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ker‐
7 nel_systemctl processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the kernel_systemctl processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The kernel_systemctl processes execute with the kernel_systemctl_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep kernel_systemctl_t
20
21
22
24 The kernel_systemctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the systemd_sys‐
25 temctl_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the kernel_systemctl_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /bin/systemctl, /usr/bin/systemctl
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 kernel_systemctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 kernel_systemctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for kernel_systemctl:
43
44 kernel_systemctl_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a kernel_systemctl_t can be used to make the
47 process type kernel_systemctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny ac‐
48 cess to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
49 sages are still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ker‐
54 nel_systemctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run kernel_systemctl with
56 the tightest 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

65
66
68 The SELinux process type kernel_systemctl_t can manage files labeled
69 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
70 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
71 permissions.
72
73 systemd_passwd_var_run_t
74
75 /var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
76 /var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
77
78
80 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
81 mappings.
82
83 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
84 process type is permissive.
85
86 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
87 icy modules.
88
89 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
90
91
92 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
93 icy settings.
