💖 systemd_veritysetup_generator_selinux — bestie edition 💖

okay so quick vibe check: this is the systemd_veritysetup_generator_selinux(8) manual page, and it's literally the SELinux policy guide for systemd_veritysetup_generator processes. yes, that's a whole mouthful. we're gonna get through it together tho 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

systemd_veritysetup_generator_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the systemd_veritysetup_generator processes. that's it, that's the whole job description 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_veritysetup_generator processes via flexible mandatory access control. mandatory = not optional, no "i'll do it later" energy. it's mandatory, bestie.

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

ps -eZ | grep systemd_veritysetup_generator_t

slay. that's the whole vibe check 🦋

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The systemd_veritysetup_generator_t SELinux type can be entered via the systemd_veritysetup_generator_exec_t file type. that's the door, and it only opens for the right files, iykyk.

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

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

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. everybody gets their own little domain, main character energy for each process honestly.

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_veritysetup_generator policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their systemd_veritysetup_generator processes in as secure a method as possible. flexible and secure?? we love a multihyphenate ✨

The following process types are defined for systemd_veritysetup_generator:

  • systemd_veritysetup_generator_t
Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_veritysetup_generator_t can be used to make the process type systemd_veritysetup_generator_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so it stops blocking but it keeps gossiping about you to the logs 💀

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. systemd_veritysetup_generator policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_veritysetup_generator with the tightest access possible. booleans = the little on/off switches, and we are obsessed with a good on/off switch 🫶

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

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type systemd_veritysetup_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. yeah, SELinux isn't out here overriding your regular permissions — both checks have to pass, no shortcuts fr fr.

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, files have ✨labels✨ now. it's giving organizational queen.

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the systemd_veritysetup_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_veritysetup_generator_exec_t '/srv/systemd_veritysetup_generator/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysystemd_veritysetup_generator_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise up 🌈

The following file types are defined for systemd_veritysetup_generator:

systemd_veritysetup_generator_exec_t

  • Set files with the systemd_veritysetup_generator_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the systemd_veritysetup_generator_t domain.

systemd_veritysetup_generator_unit_file_t

  • Set files with the systemd_veritysetup_generator_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd veritysetup 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. temporary chcon = a temporary tattoo, semanage fcontext + restorecon = the real thing 💅

🛠️ 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 don't wanna live in the terminal 24/7 (respect, honestly) 🎀
