6 mozilla_plugin_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 mozilla_plugin processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mozilla_plugin processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The mozilla_plugin processes execute with the mozilla_plugin_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mozilla_plugin_t
20
21
22
24 The mozilla_plugin_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 mozilla_plugin_exec_t, user_tmp_t file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mozilla_plugin_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/lib/xulrunner[^/]*/plugin-container, /usr/lib/nspluginwrap‐
31 per/npviewer.bin, /usr/bin/nspluginscan, /usr/bin/nspluginviewer,
32 /usr/libexec/WebKitPluginProcess, /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-container,
33 /dev/shm/mono.*, /var/run/user/[^/]+, /tmp/.ICE-unix(/.*)?,
34 /tmp/.X11-unix(/.*)?, /dev/shm/pulse-shm.*, /tmp/.X0-lock,
35 /var/run/user, /tmp/hsperfdata_root, /var/tmp/hsperfdata_root,
36 /home/[^/]+/tmp, /home/[^/]+/.tmp, /var/run/user/[0-9]+,
37 /tmp/gconfd-[^/]+

40 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
41 system
42
43 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
44
45 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
46 mozilla_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
47 mozilla_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
48
49 The following process types are defined for mozilla_plugin:
50
51 mozilla_plugin_t, mozilla_plugin_config_t
52
53 Note: semanage permissive -a mozilla_plugin_t can be used to make the
54 process type mozilla_plugin_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
55 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
56 still generated.
57
58
60 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
61 mozilla_plugin policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
62 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run mozilla_plugin with the
63 tightest access possible.
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow mozilla plugin domain to bind unreserved tcp/udp
68 ports, you must turn on the mozilla_plugin_bind_unreserved_ports bool‐
69 ean. Disabled by default.

139
140
141
143 The SELinux process type mozilla_plugin_t can manage files labeled with
144 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
145 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
146 missions.

185 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
186 type.
187
188 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
189
190 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
191 SELinux mozilla_plugin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
192 their mozilla_plugin processes in as secure a method as possible.
193
194 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
195
196 SELinux defines the file context types for the mozilla_plugin, if you
197 wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need
198 to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
199 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
200
201 semanage fcontext -a -t mozilla_plugin_exec_t '/srv/mozilla_plugin/con‐
202 tent(/.*)?'
203 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymozilla_plugin_content
204
205 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
206 match multiple files.
207
208 The following file types are defined for mozilla_plugin:
209
210
211
212 mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t type, if you want to
215 transition an executable to the mozilla_plugin_config_t domain.
216
217
218
219 mozilla_plugin_exec_t
220
221 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
222 tion an executable to the mozilla_plugin_t domain.
223
224
225 Paths:
226 /usr/lib/xulrunner[^/]*/plugin-container, /usr/lib/nspluginwrap‐
227 per/npviewer.bin, /usr/bin/nspluginscan, /usr/bin/nspluginviewer,
228 /usr/libexec/WebKitPluginProcess, /usr/lib/firefox/plugin-con‐
229 tainer
230
231
232 mozilla_plugin_rw_t
233
234 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
235 files as mozilla plugin read/write content.
236
237
238
239 mozilla_plugin_tmp_t
240
241 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store
242 mozilla plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
243
244
245
246 mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t
247
248 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
249 mozilla plugin files on a tmpfs file system.
250
251
252
253 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
254 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
255 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
256 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
257
258
260 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
261 mappings.
262
263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
264 process type is permissive.
265
266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
267 icy modules.
268
269 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
270
271
272 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
273 icy settings.
