okay so bestie, this page lives in the samba_...selinux(8) manual, and it is all about the samba_unconfined_script processes. Manual name folded in near the top like a little name tag β we are not copy-pasting the header line, we are thriving. π
β¨ NAME β¨
samba_unconfined_script_selinux β the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the samba_unconfined_script processes. periodt.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the samba_unconfined_script processes via flexible mandatory access control. iconic behavior, honestly.
The samba_unconfined_script processes execute with the samba_unconfined_script_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 samba_unconfined_script_t
π ENTRYPOINTS π
The samba_unconfined_script_t SELinux type can be entered via the shell_exec_t, samba_unconfined_script_exec_t file types.
The default entrypoint paths for the samba_unconfined_script_t domain are the following:
/usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/zsh.*, /usr/bin/esh,
/usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/sash,
/usr/bin/sesh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/yash, /usr/bin/bash2,
/usr/bin/smrsh, /usr/bin/nologin, /usr/bin/scponly, /usr/bin/scponlyc,
/usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/bin/git-shell, /usr/libexec/sudo/sesh,
/usr/bin/cockpit-bridge, /usr/libexec/cockpit-agent, /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell,
/var/lib/samba/scripts(/.*)?
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 samba_unconfined_script policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their samba_unconfined_script processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for samba_unconfined_script:
samba_unconfined_script_t
Note:semanage permissive -a samba_unconfined_script_tcan be used to make the process typesamba_unconfined_script_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
π BOOLEANS π
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. samba_unconfined_script policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run samba_unconfined_script with the tightest access possible.
deny_execmemβ if you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on thedeny_execmemboolean. Disabled by default. Turn it on withsetsebool -P deny_execmem 1.mmap_low_allowedβ if you want to control the ability tommapa low area of the address space, as configured by/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on themmap_low_allowedboolean. Disabled by default. Turn it on withsetsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1.secure_mode_insmodβ if you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on thesecure_mode_insmodboolean. Disabled by default. Turn it on withsetsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1.selinuxuser_execheapβ if you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory executable, you must turn on theselinuxuser_execheapboolean. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla. Disabled by default. Turn it on withsetsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1.selinuxuser_execstackβ if you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable, you must turn on theselinuxuser_execstackboolean. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla. Disabled by default. Turn it on withsetsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1.
π§ MANAGED FILES π§
The SELinux process type samba_unconfined_script_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.
file_typeβ all files on the system
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 samba_unconfined_script policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their samba_unconfined_script processes in as secure a method as possible.
π STANDARD FILE CONTEXT π
SELinux defines the file context types for the samba_unconfined_script. 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 samba_unconfined_script_exec_t '/srv/samba_unconfined_script/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysamba_unconfined_script_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for samba_unconfined_script:
samba_unconfined_script_exec_tβ Set files with thesamba_unconfined_script_exec_ttype, if you want to transition an executable to thesamba_unconfined_script_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 COMMANDS π
semanage fcontextcan also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.semanage permissivecan also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.semanage modulecan also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.semanage booleancan also be used to manipulate the booleans.system-config-selinuxis a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
