🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, the manual name is cpufreqselector_selinux (the header/footer call it cpufreqs...r_selinux(8)), and this page is the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cpufreqselector processes. 💖

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cpufreqselector processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap.

The cpufreqselector processes execute with the cpufreqselector_t SELinux type. Wanna check if you have these processes running? Run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like this:

ps -eZ | grep cpufreqselector_t

✨ ENTRYPOINTS ✨

The cpufreqselector_t SELinux type can be entered via the cpufreqselector_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the cpufreqselector_t domain are:

/usr/bin/cpufreq-selector

🎀 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 cpufreqselector policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cpufreqselector processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for cpufreqselector:

  • cpufreqselector_t
Note: semanage permissive -a cpufreqselector_t can be used to make the process type cpufreqselector_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. The cpufreqselector policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run cpufreqselector with the tightest access possible.

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

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

🦋 MANAGED FILES 🦋

The SELinux process type cpufreqselector_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.

  • cluster_conf_t
    • /etc/cluster(/.*)?
  • cluster_var_lib_t
    • /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/openais(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
    • /usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?

  • sysfs_t
    • /sys(/.*)?

💅 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 cpufreqselector policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cpufreqselector processes in as secure a method as possible.

🌈 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌈

SELinux defines the file context types for cpufreqselector. 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 cpufreqselector_exec_t
'/srv/cpufreqselector/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mycpufreqselector_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for cpufreqselector:

  • cpufreqselector_exec_t — set files with the cpufreqselector_exec_t type if you want to transition an executable to the cpufreqselector_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.

⭐ 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.
