qmail_inject_selinux(8)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, this is the qmail_inject_selinux(8) page — the SELinux policy glow-up for the qmail_inject processes. Security Enhanced Linux is about to get group-chat levels of explained. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux keeps the qmail_inject processes secure with flexible mandatory access control. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

The qmail_inject processes run with the qmail_inject_t SELinux type. You can check whether you’ve got these processes running by running the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep qmail_inject_t

---

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The qmail_inject_t SELinux type can be entered via the qmail_inject_exec_t file type. Entrypoint moment. 🌸

The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_inject_t domain are:

• /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types — also called domains — for each process running on the system. Main character energy for every process. ✨

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. The SELinux qmail_inject policy is very flexible, letting users set up their qmail_inject processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for qmail_inject:

• qmail_inject_t

Note: semanage permissive -a qmail_inject_t can be used to make the process type qmail_inject_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. iykyk, permissive doesn’t mean silent. 👀

---

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The qmail_inject policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that let you manipulate the policy and run qmail_inject with the tightest access possible. Least privilege, but make it fashion. 💚

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. It is enabled by default.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

---

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type qmail_inject_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Important vibe check: the process’s UID still needs to have DAC permissions.

• arpwatch_tmp_t

---

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Labels are literally the whole personality here. 🦋

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. The SELinux qmail_inject policy is very flexible, letting users set up their qmail_inject processes in as secure a method as possible.

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for qmail_inject. 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. Label makeover time. 💖

semanage fcontext -a -t qmail_inject_exec_t
'/srv/qmail_inject/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myqmail_inject_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies rise. 🌈

The following file types are defined for qmail_inject:

• qmail_inject_exec_t
  • Set files with the qmail_inject_exec_t type if you want to transition an executable to the qmail_inject_t domain. Domain transition slay. 🔥

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. Do not skip the permanent-labeling step, bestie. 😭

🛠️ 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. GUI girlies, this one’s for you. 🫶
