hwloc_dhwd_selinux(8)

okay bestie, welcome to the hwloc_dhwd_selinux(8) manual page — it's giving SELinux Policy hwloc_dhwd energy, and it's here to explain how SELinux handles the hwloc_dhwd processes. 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

hwloc_dhwd_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hwloc_dhwd processes. periodt. ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hwloc_dhwd processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

The hwloc_dhwd processes execute with the hwloc_dhwd_t SELinux type. Wanna check if you've got these processes running? Execute the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example:

ps -eZ | grep hwloc_dhwd_t

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The hwloc_dhwd_t SELinux type can be entered via the hwloc_dhwd_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the hwloc_dhwd_t domain are literally:

• /usr/bin/hwloc-dump-hwdata

👑 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 hwloc_dhwd policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their hwloc_dhwd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for hwloc_dhwd:

• hwloc_dhwd_t

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

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default, bestie.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type hwloc_dhwd_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.

• hwloc_var_run_t — default path: /run/hwloc(/.*)?

🗂️ 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 hwloc_dhwd policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their hwloc_dhwd processes in as secure a method as possible.

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for hwloc_dhwd. 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 hwloc_dhwd_exec_t '/srv/hwloc_dhwd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myhwloc_dhwd_content

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

The following file types are defined for hwloc_dhwd:

• hwloc_dhwd_exec_t — set files with the hwloc_dhwd_exec_t type if you want to transition an executable to the hwloc_dhwd_t domain.
• hwloc_dhwd_unit_t — set files with the hwloc_dhwd_unit_t type if you want to treat the files as hwloc dhwd unit data.

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.
