✨ kdumpgui_selinux(8) — the manual page, but make it a vibe ✨

Okay bestie, so this is the manual for kdumpgui_selinux from the SELinux Policy kdumpgui collection and I'm literally about to give you the full tour. No cap, every single deet is here. 💅

💖 NAME 💖

kdumpgui_selinux — the Security-Enhanced Linux Policy for the kdumpgui processes</p> ✨

Like, SELinux but specifically for the kdumpgui squad. We love a niche icon. 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Security-Enhanced Linux secures the kdumpgui processes via flexible mandatory access control. Flexible. Mandatory. Access control. The whole holy trinity, periodt. 👑

The kdumpgui processes execute with the kdumpgui_t SELinux type. If you're like "do I even have these running bestie?" — you can literally check by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. It's giving detective energy. 🕵️‍♀️

Example time, because of course:

ps -eZ | grep kdumpgui_t

Run it. Slay. Move on. 💖

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The kdumpgui_t SELinux type can be entered via the kdumpgui_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the kdumpgui_t domain are literally these:

/usr/share/system-config-kdump/system-config-kdump-backend.py

That's the one. The only. The main character path. 🌟

🎀 PROCESS TYPES 🎀

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. It's a whole labeling system, iykyk. 🏷️

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps. Obsessed with a -Z moment, honestly. 😌

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

The following process types are defined for kdumpgui:

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

🌈 BOOLEANS 🌈

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. kdumpgui policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run kdumpgui with the tightest access possible. Tighter than your fave's skinny jeans. 🔥

  • 🥾 If you want to allow s-c-kdump to run bootloader in bootloader_t, you must turn on the kdumpgui_run_bootloader boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P kdumpgui_run_bootloader 1
  • 🙈 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

👑 MANAGED FILES 👑

The SELinux process type kdumpgui_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. Don't forget the DAC, bestie, it's not all SELinux all the time. 😭

🧚 FILE CONTEXTS 🧚

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Fancy, right? 💅

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls. Another -Z icon. We stan. 😌

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

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the kdumpgui. 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. Two-step process, bestie, don't skip a step. 🫶

semanage fcontext -a -t kdumpgui_exec_t '/srv/kdumpgui/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mykdumpgui_content
🌸 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies rise up. 🧚‍♀️

The following file types are defined for kdumpgui:

  • 🏃‍♀️ kdumpgui_exec_t — Set files with the kdumpgui_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the kdumpgui_t domain.
  • 🗑️ kdumpgui_tmp_t — Set files with the kdumpgui_tmp_t type, if you want to store kdumpgui temporary files in the /tmp directories.
💀 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, don't use chcon and think you're done, because you are NOT. 😭

💻 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. 🖥️✨
