NAME

6       mailman_cgi_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy for the mail‐
7       man_cgi processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mailman_cgi processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mailman_cgi processes execute with the mailman_cgi_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 mailman_cgi_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   mailman_cgi_t   SELinux   type  can  be  entered  via  the  mail‐
25       man_cgi_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mailman_cgi_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       mailman_cgi policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mail‐
40       man_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for mailman_cgi:
43
44       mailman_cgi_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a mailman_cgi_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type mailman_cgi_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  mail‐
54       man_cgi policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  al‐
55       low  you to manipulate the policy and run mailman_cgi 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

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type mailman_cgi_t can manage  files  labeled  with
76       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
77       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
78       missions.
79
80       fusefs_t
81
82            /var/run/user/[0-9]+/gvfs

84       krb5_host_rcache_t

86            /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
87            /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

122       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
123       type.
124
125       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
126
127       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
128       SELinux  mailman_cgi  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
129       their mailman_cgi processes in as secure a method as possible.
130
131       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
132
133       SELinux defines the file context types  for  the  mailman_cgi,  if  you
134       wanted  to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need
135       to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and  then
136       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
137
138       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  mailman_cgi_exec_t  '/srv/mailman_cgi/con‐
139       tent(/.*)?'
140       restorecon -R -v /srv/mymailman_cgi_content
141
142       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
143       match multiple files.
144
145       The following file types are defined for mailman_cgi:
146
147
148
149       mailman_cgi_exec_t
150
151       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_exec_t type, if you want to transition
152       an executable to the mailman_cgi_t domain.
153
154
155       Paths:
156            /usr/lib/mailman.*/cgi-bin/.*, /usr/lib/cgi-bin/mailman.*/.*
157
158
159       mailman_cgi_tmp_t
160
161       - Set files with the mailman_cgi_tmp_t type, if you want to store mail‐
162       man cgi temporary files in the /tmp directories.
163
164
165
166       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
167       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
168       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
169       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

173       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
174       mappings.
175
176       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
177       process type is permissive.
178
179       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
180       icy modules.
181
182       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
183
184
185       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
186       icy settings.
