radvd_selinux(8)
π¦ radvd_selinux(8) β the radvd SELinux policy, but make it make sense π¦
β¨ NAME β¨
radvd_selinux β the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the radvd processes. That's it, that's the name section, bestie. π«Ά
π DESCRIPTION π
Okay so Security-Enhanced Linux secures the radvd processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap. π
The radvd processes execute with the radvd_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 radvd_t
πͺ ENTRYPOINTS πͺ
The radvd_t SELinux type can be entered via the radvd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the radvd_t domain are the following:
/usr/bin/radvd
π PROCESS TYPES π
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Yes, literally every process gets a little domain moment. π
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux radvd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their radvd processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for radvd:
radvd_t
Note:semanage permissive -a radvd_tcan be used to make the process typeradvd_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
ποΈ BOOLEANS ποΈ
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. radvd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run radvd with the tightest access possible.
daemons_dontaudit_schedulingβ if you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,sys_nice), you must turn on thedaemons_dontaudit_schedulingboolean. Enabled by default. Run:setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1fips_modeβ if you want to allow all domains to execute infips_mode, you must turn on thefips_modeboolean. Enabled by default. Run:setsebool -P fips_mode 1nis_enabledβ if you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on thenis_enabledboolean. Disabled by default. Run:setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
ποΈ MANAGED FILES ποΈ
The SELinux process type radvd_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. (DAC said what it said. π)

π·οΈ FILE CONTEXTS π·οΈ
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 radvd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their radvd processes in as secure a method as possible.
β¨ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT β¨
SELinux defines the file context types for the radvd, 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 radvd_exec_t '/srv/radvd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myradvd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies, rise. π§
The following file types are defined for radvd:
radvd_etc_t β Set files with the radvd_etc_t type, if you want to store radvd files in the /etc directories.
radvd_exec_t β Set files with the radvd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the radvd_t domain.
radvd_initrc_exec_t β Set files with the radvd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the radvd_initrc_t domain.
radvd_var_run_t β Set files with the radvd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the radvd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
Paths:
/run/radvd(/.*)?, /run/radvd.pid
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.
