💖 hddtemp_selinux — the manual page, but make it slay 💖

okay so bestie, this is the hddtemp_selinux(8) situation and honestly it's giving security✨. Let's get into it.

🌸 NAME 🌸

hddtemp_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux policy for the hddtemp processes. yes that's the whole name, she's simple, she's iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

(no separate synopsis section here bestie, the whole page is just pure lore 😌)

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hddtemp processes via flexible mandatory access control. no cap, that's the whole point. 🫶

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

For example, here's the vibe-check command:

ps -eZ | grep hddtemp_t

run it, see what's up, main character energy. 🔥

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS 🎀

The hddtemp_t SELinux type can be entered via the hddtemp_exec_t file type. that's the door she comes in through, iykyk.

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

  • /usr/bin/hddtemp

like literally that's the one (1) path bestie. she's exclusive. 💅

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. yes, every process gets her own little domain, it's giving individualized treatment.

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps. obsessed with that flag honestly.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux hddtemp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their hddtemp processes in as secure a method as possible. 🌈

The following process types are defined for hddtemp:

  • hddtemp_t
Note: semanage permissive -a hddtemp_t can be used to make the process type hddtemp_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so she'll still be snitching in the logs even when you let her off the leash, no cap 💀

🦋 BOOLEANS 🦋

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

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

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

see how two are enabled and one is disabled by default? read the labels bestie, don't just turn everything on 🙈

🌸 PORT TYPES 🌸

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports. ports have types now, it's giving organized. 💜

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports. SELinux hddtemp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their hddtemp processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following port types are defined for hddtemp:

  • hddtemp_port_t

Default Defined Ports:

  • tcp 7634

that's the port, write it down, don't @ me. 📝

🧚 MANAGED FILES 🧚

The SELinux process type hddtemp_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 — SELinux isn't doing everything for you, bestie, she's not your mom. 😭

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(/.*)?
  • /var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

cluster_var_run_t

  • /run/crm(/.*)?
  • /run/cman_.*
  • /run/rsctmp(/.*)?
  • /run/aisexec.*
  • /run/heartbeat(/.*)?
  • /run/pcsd-ruby.socket
  • /run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?
  • /run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?
  • /run/pcsd.socket
  • /run/corosync.pid
  • /run/cpglockd.pid
  • /run/rgmanager.pid
  • /run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

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

root_t

  • /sysroot/.aleph-version.json
  • /sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
  • /
  • /initrd
  • /var/lib/ntp

like yes she can touch / itself, she's built different. 💀

🍓 FILE CONTEXTS 🍓

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. it's not just vibes, there's a literal attribute bestie.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls. same energy as the ps -Z thing, iconic consistency. ✨

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

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the hddtemp, 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 hddtemp_exec_t '/srv/hddtemp/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myhddtemp_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex bestie, she's fancy like that 🎀

The following file types are defined for hddtemp:

hddtemp_etc_t

  • Set files with the hddtemp_etc_t type, if you want to store hddtemp files in the /etc directories.

hddtemp_exec_t

  • Set files with the hddtemp_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the hddtemp_t domain.

hddtemp_initrc_exec_t

  • Set files with the hddtemp_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the hddtemp_initrc_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. so chcon is the quick lil glow-up that fades, semanage fcontext is the permanent one 💅

🌈 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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions.
  • semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans.
  • system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings. for the girlies who prefer a lil clicky-click interface, we respect it 🫶
