6 mozilla_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mozilla pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mozilla processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mozilla processes execute with the mozilla_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mozilla_t
20
21
22
24 The mozilla_t SELinux type can be entered via the mozilla_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mozilla_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/lib/[^/]*firefox[^/]*/firefox, /usr/lib/[^/]*firefox[^/]*/firefox-
31 bin, /usr/lib/mozilla[^/]*/reg.+, /usr/lib/firefox[^/]*/mozilla-.*,
32 /usr/lib/mozilla[^/]*/mozilla-.*, /usr/bin/mozilla-[0-9].*,
33 /usr/lib/netscape/.+/communicator/communicator-smotif.real,
34 /usr/bin/mozilla-bin-[0-9].*, /usr/bin/mozilla, /usr/bin/epiphany,
35 /usr/bin/netscape, /usr/bin/epiphany-bin, /usr/lib/galeon/galeon,
36 /usr/bin/mozilla-snapshot, /usr/lib/netscape/base-4/wrapper

39 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
40 system
41
42 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
43
44 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
45 mozilla policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mozilla
46 processes in as secure a method as possible.
47
48 The following process types are defined for mozilla:
49
50 mozilla_t, mozilla_plugin_t, mozilla_plugin_config_t
51
52 Note: semanage permissive -a mozilla_t can be used to make the process
53 type mozilla_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
54 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
55 ated.
56
57
59 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mozilla
60 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
61 manipulate the policy and run mozilla with the tightest access possi‐
62 ble.
63
64
65
66 If you want to allow confined web browsers to read home directory con‐
67 tent, you must turn on the mozilla_read_content boolean. Disabled by
68 default.
69
70 setsebool -P mozilla_read_content 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
75 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
76 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
77 ean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
80
81
82
83 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
84 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
87
88
89
90 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
91 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
94
95
96
97 If you want to allow regular users direct dri device access, you must
98 turn on the selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
99
100 setsebool -P selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1
101
102
103
104 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
105 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
106 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
107 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
108 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
111
112
113
114 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
115 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
118
119
120
121 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
122 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
125
126
127
128 If you want to allows clients to write to the X server shared memory
129 segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm boolean. Dis‐
130 abled by default.
131
132 setsebool -P xserver_clients_write_xshm 1
133
134
135
137 The SELinux process type mozilla_t can manage files labeled with the
138 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
139 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

233 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
234 type.
235
236 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
237
238 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
239 SELinux mozilla policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
240 mozilla processes in as secure a method as possible.
241
242 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
243
244 SELinux defines the file context types for the mozilla, if you wanted
245 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
246 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
247 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
248
249 semanage fcontext -a -t mozilla_exec_t '/srv/mozilla/content(/.*)?'
250 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymozilla_content
251
252 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
253 match multiple files.
254
255 The following file types are defined for mozilla:
256
257
258
259 mozilla_conf_t
260
261 - Set files with the mozilla_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
262 files as mozilla configuration data, usually stored under the /etc di‐
263 rectory.
264
265
266
267 mozilla_exec_t
268
269 - Set files with the mozilla_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
270 executable to the mozilla_t domain.

306
307 mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t

324 tainer
325
326
327 mozilla_plugin_rw_t

330 files as mozilla plugin read/write content.
331
332
333
334 mozilla_plugin_tmp_t
335
336 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store
337 mozilla plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
338
339
340
341 mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t
342
343 - Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
344 mozilla plugin files on a tmpfs file system.
345
346
347
348 mozilla_tmp_t
349
350 - Set files with the mozilla_tmp_t type, if you want to store mozilla
351 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
352
353
354

356
357 - Set files with the mozilla_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store mozilla
358 files on a tmpfs file system.
359
360
361
362 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
363 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
364 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
365 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
366
367
369 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
370 mappings.
371
372 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
373 process type is permissive.
374
375 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
376 icy modules.
377
378 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
379
380
381 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
382 icy settings.
