✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is audisp_remote_selinux(8) — literally the Security Enhanced Linux Policy page for the audisp_remote processes 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the audisp_remote processes via flexible mandatory access control. slay.

The audisp_remote processes execute with the audisp_remote_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep audisp_remote_t

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The audisp_remote_t SELinux type can be entered via the audisp_remote_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the audisp_remote_t domain are the following:

/usr/bin/audisp-remote

💅 PROCESS TYPES 💅

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system.

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux audisp_remote policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their audisp_remote processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for audisp_remote:

  • audisp_remote_t
Note: semanage permissive -a audisp_remote_t can be used to make the process type audisp_remote_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. no cap, that part matters 👑

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The audisp_remote policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run audisp_remote with the tightest access possible.

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

If you want to allow the system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

🧚 MANAGED FILES 🧚

The SELinux process type audisp_remote_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note: the process's UID still needs to have DAC permissions.

  • audit_spool_t
    • /var/spool/audit(/.*)?
  • krb5_host_rcache_t
    • /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
    • /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
    • /var/tmp/nfs_0
    • /var/tmp/DNS_25
    • /var/tmp/host_0
    • /var/tmp/imap_0
    • /var/tmp/HTTP_23
    • /var/tmp/HTTP_48
    • /var/tmp/ldap_55
    • /var/tmp/ldap_487
    • /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
  • systemd_passwd_var_run_t
    • /run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
    • /run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?
  • wtmpdb_journal_t
    • /var/lib/wtmpdb/wtmp.db-journal
  • wtmpdb_t
    • /var/lib/wtmpdb(/.*)?

🌈 FILE CONTEXTS 🌈

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux audisp_remote policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their audisp_remote processes in as secure a method as possible.

📁 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 📁

SELinux defines the file context types for audisp_remote. If you wanted to store files with these types in different paths, you need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

semanage fcontext -a -t audisp_remote_exec_t '/srv/audisp_remote/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myaudisp_remote_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. iykyk 💫

The following file types are defined for audisp_remote:

  • audisp_remote_exec_t — Set files with the audisp_remote_exec_t type if you want to transition an executable to the audisp_remote_t domain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanently change the file context, you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels. periodt 💅

🔥 COMMANDS 🔥

  • semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.
  • semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.
  • semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.
  • semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans.
  • system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
