NAME

6       mencoder_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mencoder pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  mencoder  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  mencoder  processes  execute with the mencoder_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep mencoder_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The mencoder_t SELinux type can be entered via the mencoder_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the mencoder_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/mencoder
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       mencoder policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mencoder
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for mencoder:
43
44       mencoder_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a mencoder_t can be used to make the process
47       type  mencoder_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is  customizable based on least access required.  men‐
54       coder policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you  to manipulate the policy and run mencoder with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
61       both  executable  and  writable,  this  is dangerous and the executable
62       should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
63       ean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to determine whether mplayer can make its stack executable,
77       you must turn on the mplayer_execstack boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P mplayer_execstack 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to allow all unconfined executables to use libraries re‐
84       quiring text relocation that are not labeled textrel_shlib_t, you  must
85       turn on the selinuxuser_execmod boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1
88
89
90
91       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
92       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
99       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
102
103
104

MANAGED FILES

106       The  SELinux  process type mencoder_t can manage files labeled with the
107       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
108       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
109
110       cifs_t
111
112
113       mplayer_home_t
114
115            /home/[^/]+/.mplayer(/.*)?
116
117       nfs_t
118
119
120       user_home_t
121
122            /home/[^/]+/.+
123
124

FILE CONTEXTS

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

COMMANDS

166       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
167       mappings.
168
169       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
170       process type is permissive.
171
172       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
173       icy modules.
174
175       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
176
177
178       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
179       icy settings.
