6 pcscd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pcscd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pcscd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The pcscd processes execute with the pcscd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep pcscd_t
19
23 The pcscd_t SELinux type can be entered via the pcscd_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the pcscd_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/pcscd
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 pcscd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pcscd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for pcscd:
40 pcscd_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a pcscd_t can be used to make the process
44 type pcscd_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. pcscd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run pcscd with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
57 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
58 Enabled by default.
59 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
72 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
73 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
75
79 The SELinux process type pcscd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
80 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
81 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

132 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
133 type.
134 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
136 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
138 SELinux pcscd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pc‐
139 scd processes in as secure a method as possible.
140 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
142 pcscd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
145 der the /var/run/pcscd directory. If you would like to store the data
146 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
147 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
148 directory you would execute the following command:
149 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/pcscd /srv/pcscd
151 restorecon -R -v /srv/pcscd
152 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
154 SELinux defines the file context types for the pcscd, if you wanted to
156 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
157 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
158 storecon to put the labels on disk.
159 semanage fcontext -a -t pcscd_exec_t '/srv/pcscd/content(/.*)?'
161 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypcscd_content
162 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
164 match multiple files.
165 The following file types are defined for pcscd:
167 pcscd_exec_t
171 - Set files with the pcscd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
173 executable to the pcscd_t domain.
174 pcscd_initrc_exec_t
178 - Set files with the pcscd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
180 tion an executable to the pcscd_initrc_t domain.
181 pcscd_var_run_t
185 - Set files with the pcscd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pc‐
187 scd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
188 Paths:
191 /var/run/pcscd(/.*)?, /var/run/pcscd.events(/.*)?, /var/run/pc‐
192 scd.pid, /var/run/pcscd.pub, /var/run/pcscd.comm
193 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
196 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
197 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
198 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
199
202 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
203 mappings.
204 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
206 process type is permissive.
207 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
209 icy modules.
210 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
212 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
215 icy settings.
