6 obex_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the obex processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the obex processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The obex processes execute with the obex_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep obex_t
19
23 The obex_t SELinux type can be entered via the obex_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the obex_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/bin/obex-data-server, /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 obex policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their obex pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for obex:
40 obex_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a obex_t can be used to make the process
44 type obex_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. obex
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run obex with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
57 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
58 Disabled by default.
59 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
61 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
72 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
73 type.
74 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
76 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
78 SELinux obex policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their obex
79 processes in as secure a method as possible.
80 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
82 SELinux defines the file context types for the obex, if you wanted to
84 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
85 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
86 storecon to put the labels on disk.
87 semanage fcontext -a -t obex_exec_t '/srv/obex/content(/.*)?'
89 restorecon -R -v /srv/myobex_content
90 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
92 match multiple files.
93 The following file types are defined for obex:
95 obex_exec_t
99 - Set files with the obex_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
101 ecutable to the obex_t domain.
102 Paths:
105 /usr/bin/obex-data-server, /usr/libexec/bluetooth/obexd
106 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
109 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
110 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
111 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
112
115 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
116 mappings.
117 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
119 process type is permissive.
120 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
122 icy modules.
123 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
125 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
128 icy settings.
