NAME

6       ifconfig_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ifconfig pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  ifconfig  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  ifconfig  processes  execute with the ifconfig_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 ifconfig_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The ifconfig_t SELinux type can be entered via the ifconfig_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the ifconfig_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /bin/ip,   /sbin/ip,  /sbin/iw,  /sbin/tc,  /usr/bin/ip,  /usr/sbin/ip,
31       /usr/sbin/iw, /usr/sbin/tc, /sbin/ethtool, /sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/iwcon‐
32       fig,     /sbin/mii-tool,     /usr/sbin/ethtool,     /usr/sbin/ifconfig,
33       /usr/sbin/iwconfig,      /usr/sbin/mii-tool,       /sbin/ipx_configure,
34       /sbin/ipx_interface,  /sbin/ipx_internal_net,  /usr/sbin/ipx_configure,
35       /usr/sbin/ipx_interface, /usr/sbin/ipx_internal_net
36

PROCESS TYPES

38       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
39       system
40
41       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
42
43       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
44       ifconfig policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ifconfig
45       processes in as secure a method as possible.
46
47       The following process types are defined for ifconfig:
48
49       ifconfig_t
50
51       Note: semanage permissive -a ifconfig_t can be used to make the process
52       type ifconfig_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to  permissive
53       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
54       ated.
55
56

BOOLEANS

58       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.   ifcon‐
59       fig  policy  is  extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
60       you to manipulate the policy and run ifconfig with the tightest  access
61       possible.
62
63
64
65       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
66       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
67
68       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
69
70
71
72       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
73       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
74
75       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
76

MANAGED FILES

80       The  SELinux  process type ifconfig_t can manage files labeled with the
81       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
82       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
83
84       ifconfig_var_run_t
85
86            /var/run/netns

FILE CONTEXTS

124       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
125       type.
126
127       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
128
129       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
130       SELinux  ifconfig policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
131       ifconfig processes in as secure a method as possible.
132
133       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
134
135       SELinux defines the file context types for the ifconfig, if you  wanted
136       to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
137       cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use
138       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
139
140       semanage fcontext -a -t ifconfig_exec_t '/srv/ifconfig/content(/.*)?'
141       restorecon -R -v /srv/myifconfig_content
142
143       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
144       match multiple files.
145
146       The following file types are defined for ifconfig:
147
148
149
150       ifconfig_exec_t
151
152       - Set files with the ifconfig_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
153       executable to the ifconfig_t domain.
154
155
156       Paths:
157            /bin/ip,  /sbin/ip, /sbin/iw, /sbin/tc, /usr/bin/ip, /usr/sbin/ip,
158            /usr/sbin/iw,   /usr/sbin/tc,    /sbin/ethtool,    /sbin/ifconfig,
159            /sbin/iwconfig,  /sbin/mii-tool,  /usr/sbin/ethtool, /usr/sbin/if‐
160            config, /usr/sbin/iwconfig, /usr/sbin/mii-tool,  /sbin/ipx_config‐
161            ure,          /sbin/ipx_interface,         /sbin/ipx_internal_net,
162            /usr/sbin/ipx_configure,                  /usr/sbin/ipx_interface,
163            /usr/sbin/ipx_internal_net
164
165
166       ifconfig_var_run_t
167
168       -  Set files with the ifconfig_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
169       ifconfig files under the /run or /var/run directory.
170
171
172
173       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
174       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
175       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
176       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
177
178

COMMANDS

180       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
181       mappings.
182
183       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
184       process type is permissive.
185
186       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
187       icy modules.
188
189       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
190
191
192       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
193       icy settings.
