πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Okay bestie, welcome to the sectoolm_selinux(8) page πŸ’… β€” this is the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sectoolm processes. Slay, but make it mandatory access control ✨.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sectoolm processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap, that’s the whole vibe 🫢.

The sectoolm processes execute with the sectoolm_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 sectoolm_t

πŸ¦‹ ENTRYPOINTS πŸ¦‹

The sectoolm_t SELinux type can be entered via the sectoolm_exec_t file type. Iconic little doorway, honestly πŸšͺ✨.

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

/usr/libexec/sectool-mechanism.py

πŸ‘‘ PROCESS TYPES πŸ‘‘

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Main character energy for every process, fr fr πŸ’«.

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux sectoolm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sectoolm processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for sectoolm:

  • sectoolm_t β€” the process type bestie in question πŸ‘‘
Note: semanage permissive -a sectoolm_t can be used to make the process type sectoolm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So it’s chill-ish, but the receipts still exist 😭.

✨ BOOLEANS ✨

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sectoolm policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run sectoolm with the tightest access possible. Tightest access possible = the moment πŸ’….

  • daemons_dontaudit_scheduling β€” If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
  • fips_mode β€” 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
  • nis_enabled β€” If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

πŸŽ€ MANAGED FILES πŸŽ€

The SELinux process type sectoolm_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. UID said β€œnot my job,” and honestly valid πŸ™ˆ.

  • cluster_conf_t β€” default paths:
    • /etc/cluster(/.*)?
  • cluster_var_lib_t β€” default paths:
    • /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/openais(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
    • /usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
    • /var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?
  • cluster_var_run_t β€” default paths:
    • /run/crm(/.*)?
    • /run/cman_.*
    • /run/rsctmp(/.*)?
    • /run/aisexec.*
    • /run/heartbeat(/.*)?
    • /run/pcsd-ruby.socket
    • /run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?
    • /run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?
    • /run/pcsd.socket
    • /run/corosync.pid
    • /run/cpglockd.pid
    • /run/rgmanager.pid
    • /run/cluster/rgmanager.sk
  • krb5_host_rcache_t β€” default paths:
    • /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
    • /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
    • /var/tmp/nfs_0
    • /var/tmp/DNS_25
    • /var/tmp/host_0
    • /var/tmp/imap_0
    • /var/tmp/HTTP_23
    • /var/tmp/HTTP_48
    • /var/tmp/ldap_55
    • /var/tmp/ldap_487
    • /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
  • root_t β€” default paths:
    • /sysroot/.aleph-version.json
    • /sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
    • /
    • /initrd
    • /var/lib/ntp

🌈 FILE CONTEXTS 🌈

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Yes, files have lore too 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 sectoolm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sectoolm processes in as secure a method as possible.

πŸ“ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT πŸ“

SELinux defines the file context types for the sectoolm, 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 sectoolm_exec_t '/srv/sectoolm/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysectoolm_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies stay winning ✨.

The following file types are defined for sectoolm:

  • sectoolm_exec_t β€” Set files with the sectoolm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the sectoolm_t domain. Executable to domain pipeline? Obsessed πŸ’….
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. Temporary is cute, permanent needs receipts 🧾.

⭐ 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 bestie has entered the chat πŸ–₯οΈπŸ’–.
