💖 clvmd_selinux(8) 💖 — SELinux Policy clvmd, bestie edition ✨

Okay so this is the manual page clvmd_selinux(8), and it’s giving SELinux Policy clvmd, no cap. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

clvmd_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the clvmd processes. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the clvmd processes via flexible mandatory access control. 👑

The clvmd processes execute with the clvmd_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 clvmd_t

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS 🎀

The clvmd_t SELinux type can be entered via the clvmd_exec_t file type. ✨

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

/usr/bin/clvmd

👑 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 clvmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their clvmd processes in as secure a method as possible. 🔥

The following process types are defined for clvmd:

clvmd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a clvmd_t can be used to make the process type clvmd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. 🫶

✨ BOOLEANS ✨

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

• daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default. 🌈

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1

• deny_execmem — If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem boolean. Disabled by default. 💀

setsebool -P deny_execmem 1

• mmap_low_allowed — If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default. 🧚

setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1

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

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

• secure_mode_insmod — If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the secure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default. 👑

setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1

• selinuxuser_execheap — If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default. 😭

setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1

• selinuxuser_execstack — If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_execstack boolean. Disabled by default. 💀

setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

🌟 MANAGED FILES 🌟

The SELinux process type clvmd_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions. 👑

• file_type — all files on the system. 🌈

🏷️ 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 clvmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their clvmd processes in as secure a method as possible. 🔥

💖 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 💖

SELinux defines the file context types for the clvmd; 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 clvmd_exec_t '/srv/clvmd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myclvmd_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. 🧚

The following file types are defined for clvmd:

• clvmd_exec_t — Set files with the clvmd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the clvmd_t domain. 💅
• clvmd_initrc_exec_t — Set files with the clvmd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the clvmd_initrc_t domain. 💅
• clvmd_tmpfs_t — Set files with the clvmd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store clvmd files on a tmpfs file system. 🌸
• clvmd_var_run_t — Set files with the clvmd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the clvmd files under the /run or /var/run directory. 🌀

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. 🫶

💅 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. 🎀
