hirte_agent_selinux(8)

📦 version 0.4.0, in epel 9

💖 hirte_agent_selinux(8) 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the hirte_agent_selinux(8) manual page — the one that's all about keeping your hirte_agent processes safe and sound under Security-Enhanced Linux. Let's get into it. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

hirte_agent_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hirte_agent processes. That's it. That's the vibe. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So, Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hirte_agent processes via flexible mandatory access control. Mandatory access control, not me explaining it badly — it's the real deal, okay?

The hirte_agent processes execute with the hirte_agent_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 hirte_agent_t

That's literally it. Run that and see what's up. 👑

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS 🎀

The hirte_agent_t SELinux type can be entered via the hirte_agent_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/hirte-agent

That's the one. That's where it lives. 🏠

🧚 PROCESS TYPES 🧚

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Yes, every process gets its own little domain. It's giving main character energy for every single daemon. 😭

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

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

The following process types are defined for hirte_agent:

  • hirte_agent_t
Note: semanage permissive -a hirte_agent_t can be used to make the process type hirte_agent_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So like, it's permissive but not silent — the receipts are still there. 💀

🌈 BOOLEANS 🌈

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. hirte_agent policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run hirte_agent with the tightest access possible. We love a customizable queen. 🫶

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

Both enabled by default, both slaying. 🎀

⭐ MANAGED FILES ⭐

The SELinux process type hirte_agent_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. So like, SELinux doesn't override your regular permissions — it's a whole layered situation. 💅

  • 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
    • /var/run/crm(/.*)?
    • /var/run/cman_.*
    • /var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?
    • /var/run/aisexec.*
    • /var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?
    • /var/run/pcsd-ruby.socket
    • /var/run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?
    • /var/run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?
    • /var/run/corosync.pid
    • /var/run/cpglockd.pid
    • /var/run/rgmanager.pid
    • /var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk
  • initrc_tmp_t
    • (no default paths listed — it's a mystery but it's there)
  • mnt_t
    • /mnt(/[^/]*)?
    • /mnt(/[^/]*)?
    • /rhev(/[^/]*)?
    • /rhev/[^/]*/.*
    • /media(/[^/]*)?
    • /media(/[^/]*)?
    • /media/.hal-.*
    • /var/run/media(/[^/]*)?
    • /afs
    • /net
    • /misc
    • /rhev
  • root_t
    • /sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
    • /
    • /initrd
  • tmp_t
    • /sandbox(/.*)?
    • /tmp
    • /usr/tmp
    • /var/tmp
    • /var/tmp
    • /tmp-inst
    • /var/tmp-inst
    • /var/tmp/tmp-inst
    • /var/tmp/vi.recover

(Yes, some paths show up twice in the list — that's literally what the policy says, so I'm keeping it 100% accurate. No cap. 🙈)

💜 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 hirte_agent policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their hirte_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.

🌸 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌸

SELinux defines the file context types for the hirte_agent. 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 hirte_agent_exec_t '/srv/hirte_agent/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myhirte_agent_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex is that girl. 💅

The following file types are defined for hirte_agent:

  • hirte_agent_exec_t — Set files with the hirte_agent_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the hirte_agent_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 like, chcon is the quick fix, semanage fcontext is the commitment, and restorecon makes it official. 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. (For my visual learners. 🎀)

Alright bestie, that's the whole page! This manual page is from the hirte_agent package — version 23-04-04 — and it's giving SELinux policy realness from start to finish. Stay secure, stay slaying. 💅✨🦋
