💖 dlm_controld_selinux 💖

okay bestie, gather round 🫶 this is dlm_controld_selinux(8), aka the SELinux Policy page for dlm_controld. It’s giving mandatory access control but make it cute, and we’re gonna go through every file type, boolean, and path together. no cap. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

dlm_controld_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dlm_controld processes.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dlm_controld processes via flexible mandatory access control. That’s the whole vibe: flexible, mandatory, and doing the absolute most to keep things locked down. 💅

The dlm_controld processes execute with the dlm_controld_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 dlm_controld_t

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The dlm_controld_t SELinux type can be entered via the dlm_controld_exec_t file type. That’s the doorway, bestie. 🚪✨

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

/usr/bin/dlm_controld

👑 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 dlm_controld policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their dlm_controld processes in as secure a method as possible. It’s literally customizable lockdown energy. 🔥

The following process types are defined for dlm_controld:

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

  • cluster_use_execmem — if you want to allow cluster administrative cluster domains memcheck-amd64- to use executable memory, you must turn on the cluster_use_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P cluster_use_execmem 1
  • 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
  • fips_mode — 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
  • 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

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type dlm_controld_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 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 dlm_controld policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their dlm_controld processes in as secure a method as possible.

💅 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 💅

SELinux defines the file context types for the dlm_controld, if you wanted to store files with these types in a 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 dlm_controld_exec_t '/srv/dlm_controld/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mydlm_controld_content
🧠 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for dlm_controld:

  • dlm_controld_exec_t — set files with the dlm_controld_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the dlm_controld_t domain.
  • dlm_controld_initrc_exec_t — set files with the dlm_controld_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the dlm_controld_initrc_t domain.
  • dlm_controld_tmpfs_t — set files with the dlm_controld_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store dlm controld files on a tmpfs file system.
  • dlm_controld_var_log_t — set files with the dlm_controld_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as dlm controld var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory. Paths:
    • /var/log/dlm_controld(/.*)?
    • /var/log/cluster/dlm_controld.log.*
  • dlm_controld_var_run_t — set files with the dlm_controld_var_run_t type, if you want to store the dlm controld files under the /run or /var/run directory. Paths:
    • /run/dlm_controld(/.*)?
    • /run/dlm_controld.pid
💡 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.
