sectoolm_selinux(8)
π NAME π
Okay bestie, welcome to the sectoolm_selinux(8) page π
β this is the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sectoolm processes. Slay, but make it mandatory access control β¨.
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sectoolm processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap, thatβs the whole vibe π«Ά.
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
π¦ ENTRYPOINTS π¦
The sectoolm_t SELinux type can be entered via the sectoolm_exec_t file type. Iconic little doorway, honestly πͺβ¨.
The default entrypoint paths for the sectoolm_t domain are the following:
/usr/libexec/sectool-mechanism.py
π PROCESS TYPES π
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Main character energy for every process, fr fr 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 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_tβ the process type bestie in question π
Note:semanage permissive -a sectoolm_tcan be used to make the process typesectoolm_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So itβs chill-ish, but the receipts still exist π.
β¨ BOOLEANS β¨
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 π
.
daemons_dontaudit_schedulingβ If you want todontauditall daemons scheduling requests (setsched,sys_nice), you must turn on thedaemons_dontaudit_schedulingboolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
fips_modeβ If you want to allow all domains to execute infips_mode, you must turn on thefips_modeboolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
nis_enabledβ If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on thenis_enabledboolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
π MANAGED FILES π
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 βnot my job,β and honestly valid π.
cluster_conf_tβ default paths:/etc/cluster(/.*)?
cluster_var_lib_tβ 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_tβ 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_tβ 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_tβ default paths:/sysroot/.aleph-version.json/sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?//initrd/var/lib/ntp
π FILE CONTEXTS π
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Yes, files have lore too π₯.
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.
π STANDARD FILE CONTEXT π
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 β¨.
The following file types are defined for sectoolm:
sectoolm_exec_tβ Set files with thesectoolm_exec_ttype, if you want to transition an executable to thesectoolm_tdomain. Executable to domain pipeline? Obsessed π .
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. Temporary is cute, permanent needs receipts π§Ύ.
β COMMANDS β
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. GUI bestie has entered the chat π₯οΈπ.
