telepath..._selinux(8)

💅 NAME 💅

okay so, bestie, this is the telepathy_sofiasip_selinux page — aka the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy_sofiasip processes. that's it, that's the whole name. it's from the telepath..._selinux(8) manual (they truncated it, iconic of them honestly) 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_sofiasip processes via flexible mandatory access control. no cap, that's the whole vibe — it locks things down but in a flexible way 🦋

the telepathy_sofiasip processes execute with the telepathy_sofiasip_t SELinux type. you can check if you've got these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

for example:

ps -eZ | grep telepathy_sofiasip_t

---

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

the telepathy_sofiasip_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepathy_sofiasip_exec_t file type. it's giving backstage pass 💅

the default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_sofiasip_t domain are the following:

/usr/libexec/telepathy-rakia, /usr/libexec/telepathy-sofiasip

---

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

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. the SELinux telepathy_sofiasip policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their telepathy_sofiasip processes in as secure a method as possible. she's adaptable, she contains multitudes 🌈

the following process types are defined for telepathy_sofiasip:

telepathy_sofiasip_t

Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_sofiasip_t can be used to make the process type telepathy_sofiasip_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like… she's not gonna stop you, but she's gonna write it down in her diary 😭

---

🎚️ BOOLEANS 🎚️

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. the telepathy_sofiasip policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_sofiasip with the tightest access possible. love a queen who lets you choose 🫶

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

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

if you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports boolean. disabled by default.

setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1

if you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports boolean. disabled by default.

setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1

📂 MANAGED FILES 📂

the SELinux process type telepathy_sofiasip_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. the paths listed are the default paths for these file types. note: the process's UID still needs to have DAC permissions — SELinux said "i can only do so much, the UID has to pull their weight too" 💀

cache_home_t

/root/.cache(/.*)?
/home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?
/home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?

krb5_host_rcache_t

/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

---

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

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. the SELinux telepathy_sofiasip policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their telepathy_sofiasip processes in as secure a method as possible. same energy, different paragraph, she said it twice bc she means it ✨

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for telepathy_sofiasip. 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 telepathy_sofiasip_exec_t
'/srv/telepathy_sofiasip/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_sofiasip_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 🙈

the following file types are defined for telepathy_sofiasip:

telepathy_sofiasip_exec_t

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

Paths: /usr/libexec/telepathy-rakia, /usr/libexec/telepathy-sofiasip

telepathy_sofiasip_tmp_t

• Set files with the telepathy_sofiasip_tmp_t type, if you want to store telepathy sofiasip temporary files in the /tmp directories.

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 vs permanent, choose your fighter 💅

🛠️ 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. yes bestie, a GUI, for when the terminal is doing too much 🖱️

and that's the whole page, bestie 🫶 this was telepathy_sofiasip, version 26-10-06, dated 26-10-06, living under telepath..._selinux(8) (yes, still truncated, still iconic). go forth and label responsibly ⭐💖
