✨ mon_statd_selinux(8) ✨

Okay bestie, so this is the manual page for mon_statd_selinux(8) — it's literally the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mon_statd processes. It's giving security realness, and I'm obsessed. 💖

💅 NAME 💅

mon_statd_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mon_statd processes. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, picture this: Security-Enhanced Linux is like the bodyguard for your mon_statd processes, using flexible mandatory access control to keep everything in check. The mon_statd processes are out here executing with the mon_statd_t SELinux type. Wanna see if you've got these processes running? Just execute the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like this:

ps -eZ | grep mon_statd_t

🌸 ENTRYPOINTS 🌸

The mon_statd_t SELinux type can be entered via the mon_statd_exec_t file type. The default entrypoint paths for the mon_statd_t domain are literally:

/usr/bin/mon_fsstatd

🔥 PROCESS TYPES 🔥

Okay, so SELinux is out here defining 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 mon_statd policy is super flexible, allowing users to setup their mon_statd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for mon_statd:

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

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

Okay, so SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mon_statd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run mon_statd with the tightest access possible. 💅

  • daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on this 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 this boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1

👑 MANAGED FILES 👑

The SELinux process type mon_statd_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. 🫶 Here's the full list, bestie:

  • 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
  • mon_statd_var_run_t
    • /run/procd.*
    • /run/fstatd.*
  • root_t
    • /sysroot/.aleph-version.json
    • /sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
    • /
    • /initrd
    • /var/lib/ntp

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

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the mon_statd. 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 mon_statd_exec_t '/srv/mon_statd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mymon_statd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for mon_statd:

  • mon_statd_exec_t — Set files with the mon_statd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the mon_statd_t domain.
  • mon_statd_initrc_exec_t — Set files with the mon_statd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the mon_statd_initrc_t domain.
  • mon_statd_var_run_t — Set files with the mon_statd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the mon statd files under the /run or /var/run directory.

Paths:

  • /run/procd.*, /run/fstatd.*
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 🌈

Okay, so 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. 💅
