π NAME π
qmail_splogger_selinux β Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the qmail_splogger processes. Bestie, this is the qmail_spl...r_selinux(8) page (yes, the header truncates it like that, iconic), and it's all about the SELinux policy for qmail_splogger. Buckle up π
β¨ DESCRIPTION β¨
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qmail_splogger processes via flexible mandatory access control. Slay.
The qmail_splogger processes execute with the qmail_splogger_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 qmail_splogger_t
πͺ ENTRYPOINTS πͺ
The qmail_splogger_t SELinux type can be entered via the qmail_splogger_exec_t file type. That's the doorway, bestie π¦
The default entrypoint paths for the qmail_splogger_t domain are the following:
/var/qmail/bin/splogger
π PROCESS TYPES π
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 qmail_splogger policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their qmail_splogger processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for qmail_splogger:
qmail_splogger_t
Note:semanage permissive -a qmail_splogger_tcan be used to make the process typeqmail_splogger_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. No cap, that's the whole note π
ποΈ BOOLEANS ποΈ
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. qmail_splogger policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run qmail_splogger 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.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
π FILE CONTEXTS π
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 qmail_splogger policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their qmail_splogger processes in as secure a method as possible.
π STANDARD FILE CONTEXT π
SELinux defines the file context types for the qmail_splogger, 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 qmail_splogger_exec_t
'/srv/qmail_splogger/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myqmail_splogger_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Very regex-core of it π
The following file types are defined for qmail_splogger:
qmail_splogger_exec_tβ Set files with theqmail_splogger_exec_ttype, if you want to transition an executable to theqmail_splogger_tdomain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with thechconcommand. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use thesemanage fcontextcommand. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to userestoreconto apply the labels.
π οΈ COMMANDS π οΈ
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.
