NAME

6       gpg_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg processes
7

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The gpg_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpg_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/bin/gpg(2)?, /usr/lib/gnupg/.*, /usr/bin/gpgsm
28

PROCESS TYPES

30       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31       system
32
33       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
36       gpg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpg processes
37       in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for gpg:
40
41       gpg_t, gpg_agent_t, gpg_helper_t, gpg_pinentry_t, gpg_web_t
42
43       Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_t can be used to make the process type
44       gpg_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access  to  permissive  process
45       types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47

BOOLEANS

49       SELinux  policy  is  customizable  based on least access required.  gpg
50       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51       manipulate the policy and run gpg with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
56       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
57
58       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
59
60
61
62       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
63       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
66
67

MANAGED FILES

70       The  SELinux  process type gpg_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
71       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
72       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

182       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
183       type.
184
185       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
186
187       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
188       SELinux  gpg  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpg
189       processes in as secure a method as possible.
190
191       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
192
193       SELinux defines the file context types for the gpg, if  you  wanted  to
194       store  files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
195       the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use  re‐
196       storecon to put the labels on disk.
197
198       semanage fcontext -a -t gpg_exec_t '/srv/gpg/content(/.*)?'
199       restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_content
200
201       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
202       match multiple files.
203
204       The following file types are defined for gpg:
205
206
207
208       gpg_agent_exec_t
209
210       - Set files with the gpg_agent_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
211       an executable to the gpg_agent_t domain.
212
213
214
215       gpg_agent_tmp_t
216
217       -  Set  files  with  the gpg_agent_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpg
218       agent temporary files in the /tmp directories.
219
220
221
222       gpg_agent_tmpfs_t
223
224       - Set files with the gpg_agent_tmpfs_t type, if you want to  store  gpg
225       agent files on a tmpfs file system.
226
227
228
229       gpg_exec_t
230
231       - Set files with the gpg_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
232       cutable to the gpg_t domain.
233
234
235       Paths:
236            /usr/bin/gpg(2)?, /usr/lib/gnupg/.*, /usr/bin/gpgsm
237
238
239       gpg_helper_exec_t
240
241       - Set files with the gpg_helper_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
242       an executable to the gpg_helper_t domain.
243
244
245
246       gpg_pinentry_tmp_t
247
248       -  Set files with the gpg_pinentry_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpg
249       pinentry temporary files in the /tmp directories.
250
251
252
253       gpg_pinentry_tmpfs_t
254
255       - Set files with the gpg_pinentry_tmpfs_t type, if you  want  to  store
256       gpg pinentry files on a tmpfs file system.
257
258
259
260       gpg_secret_t
261
262       -  Set files with the gpg_secret_t type, if you want to treat the files
263       as gpg secret data.
264
265
266       Paths:
267            /root/.gnupg(/.+)?,   /etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-update-keys(/.*)?,
268            /home/[^/]+/.gnupg(/.+)?
269
270
271       gpg_tmpfs_t
272
273       -  Set  files with the gpg_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store gpg files
274       on a tmpfs file system.
275
276
277
278       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
279       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
280       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
281       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
282
283

COMMANDS

285       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
286       mappings.
287
288       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
289       process type is permissive.
290
291       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
292       icy modules.
293
294       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
295
296
297       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
298       icy settings.
