💅 systemd_import_generator_selinux — the SELinux glow-up for systemd_import_generator 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the system...elinux(8) manual (yes, that's the manual name, it's giving ✨mysterious✨), and it's all about the SELinux policy for the systemd_import_generator processes. Let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

systemd_import_generator_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the systemd_import_generator processes. that's the whole vibe, no cap 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_import_generator processes via flexible mandatory access control. it's literally the bouncer at the club, but for syscalls 🔥

The systemd_import_generator processes execute with the systemd_import_generator_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 systemd_import_generator_t

run that and see who's showing up to the party 🎀

---

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The systemd_import_generator_t SELinux type can be entered via the systemd_import_generator_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-import-generator

that's the one door in, iykyk 🦋

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. yes, every process gets its own little domain, main character energy fr fr 💜

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

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

The following process types are defined for systemd_import_generator:

systemd_import_generator_t

Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_import_generator_t can be used to make the process type systemd_import_generator_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, it stops stopping you, but it still talks about you behind your back 😭 the receipts stay, periodt.

---

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. systemd_import_generator policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_import_generator with the tightest access possible. tightest access = smallest guest list, obsessed 💅

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

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

two booleans, both already on, both slaying ✨

---

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type systemd_import_generator_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 is powerful but it can't override DAC, that's not its lane, ngl 🙈

cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

cluster_var_lib_t

/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

/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

root_t

/sysroot/.aleph-version.json
/sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
/
/initrd
/var/lib/ntp

look at all those paths, it's giving infrastructure 🌈

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. little label on everything, like name tags at a party 🎀

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

🌟 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌟

SELinux defines the file context types for the systemd_import_generator, 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 systemd_import_generator_exec_t '/srv/systemd_import_generator/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysystemd_import_generator_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 systemd_import_generator:

• systemd_import_generator_exec_t — Set files with the systemd_import_generator_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the systemd_import_generator_t domain.
• systemd_import_generator_unit_file_t — Set files with the systemd_import_generator_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd import generator unit content.

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 one, fr fr 🔥

---

🛠️ 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. a whole GUI, for the girlies who like a little visual with their MAC 🖥️✨
