6 netutils_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the netutils pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the netutils processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The netutils processes execute with the netutils_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 netutils_t
20
21
22
24 The netutils_t SELinux type can be entered via the netutils_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the netutils_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /bin/arping, /sbin/arping, /usr/bin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping,
31 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their netutils
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for netutils:
44
45 netutils_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a netutils_t can be used to make the process
48 type netutils_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. netu‐
55 tils policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run netutils with the tightest access
57 possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
62 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
63 Disabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 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 allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
77 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type netutils_t can manage files labeled with the
85 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

88 krb5_host_rcache_t
89
90 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
91 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
92 /var/tmp/nfs_0
93 /var/tmp/DNS_25
94 /var/tmp/host_0
95 /var/tmp/imap_0
96 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
97 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
98 /var/tmp/ldap_55

100 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

107 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
108 type.
109
110 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
111
112 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
113 SELinux netutils policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
114 netutils processes in as secure a method as possible.
115
116 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
117
118 SELinux defines the file context types for the netutils, if you wanted
119 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
120 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
121 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
122
123 semanage fcontext -a -t netutils_exec_t '/srv/netutils/content(/.*)?'
124 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynetutils_content
125
126 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
127 match multiple files.
128
129 The following file types are defined for netutils:
130
131
132
133 netutils_exec_t
134
135 - Set files with the netutils_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
136 executable to the netutils_t domain.
137
138
139 Paths:
140 /bin/arping, /sbin/arping, /usr/bin/arping, /usr/sbin/arping,
141 /usr/sbin/tcpdump
142
143
144 netutils_tmp_t
145
146 - Set files with the netutils_tmp_t type, if you want to store netutils
147 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
148
149
150
151 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
152 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
153 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
154 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
155
156
158 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
159 mappings.
160
161 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
162 process type is permissive.
163
164 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
165 icy modules.
166
167 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
168
169
170 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
171 icy settings.
