πŸ’– rhc_playbook_verifier_selinux β€” the SELinux policy glow-up for rhc_playbook_verifier πŸ’–

okay bestie, welcome to rhc_playbook_verifier_selinux(8), the manual page for the SELinux policy that keeps an eye on your rhc_playbook_verifier processes. yes it's a policy page, no it's not boring, let's get into it πŸ¦‹


✨ NAME ✨

rhc_playbook_verifier_selinux β€” Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rhc_playbook_verifier processes

literally what it says on the tin, no cap πŸ’…


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rhc_playbook_verifier processes via flexible mandatory access control. that's the whole vibe: SELinux is the friend who checks your outfit before you leave the house, except the outfit is syscalls and the friend has a policy database πŸ“‹βœ¨

The rhc_playbook_verifier processes execute with the rhc_playbook_verifier_t SELinux type. want to know if you've got these processes running? run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like this:

ps -eZ | grep rhc_playbook_verifier_t

boom. there they are. main character energy detected πŸ‘‘


πŸšͺ ENTRYPOINTS πŸšͺ

The rhc_playbook_verifier_t SELinux type can be entered via the rhc_playbook_verifier_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, the velvet rope, the "you're on the list" moment πŸŽ€

The default entrypoint paths for the rhc_playbook_verifier_t domain are the following:

/usr/libexec/rhc-playbook-verifier

🧚 PROCESS TYPES 🧚

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. every process gets a lil label, it's giving name tags at a party 🏷️

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux rhc_playbook_verifier policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rhc_playbook_verifier processes in as secure a method as possible. flexible and secure, we love a multitalented icon πŸ’–

The following process types are defined for rhc_playbook_verifier:

  • rhc_playbook_verifier_t
Note: semanage permissive -a rhc_playbook_verifier_t can be used to make the process type rhc_playbook_verifier_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so it stops blocking you but it will keep receipts 😭

🎚️ BOOLEANS 🎚️

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. rhc_playbook_verifier policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run rhc_playbook_verifier with the tightest access possible. toggles, bestie. on/off switches for your security ✨

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default. yep, already on out of the box, no notes πŸ‘‘

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

πŸ“‚ MANAGED FILES πŸ“‚

The SELinux process type rhc_playbook_verifier_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. SELinux said yes but DAC said "do you have the perms though" πŸ™ˆ

  • rhc_playbook_verifier_var_lib_t
    • /var/lib/rhc-playbook-verifier(/.*)?

πŸ—‚οΈ FILE CONTEXTS πŸ—‚οΈ

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, files have lore, and the lore lives in an xattr πŸ’…

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

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the rhc_playbook_verifier, 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. moving day, but for file labels 🚚

semanage fcontext -a -t rhc_playbook_verifier_exec_t '/srv/rhc_playbook_verifier/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myrhc_playbook_verifier_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regexes, the original "match my vibe" tool 🧚

The following file types are defined for rhc_playbook_verifier:

  • rhc_playbook_verifier_exec_t
    • Set files with the rhc_playbook_verifier_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the rhc_playbook_verifier_t domain.
  • rhc_playbook_verifier_var_lib_t
    • Set files with the rhc_playbook_verifier_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the rhc playbook verifier files under the /var/lib directory.
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. chcon is the temporary tattoo, semanage fcontext is the real ink πŸŽ€

πŸ› οΈ COMMANDS πŸ› 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. for the girlies who prefer clicking over typing, we respect it πŸ’…
