💫 telepathy_sunshine_selinux — the SELinux glow-up for your telepathy_sunshine processes 💫

Okay so bestie, this is the telepath..._selinux(8) page and we are about to get so comfy with it. It's the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy_sunshine processes, and honestly? It's giving "mandatory access control but make it fashion." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

telepathy_sunshine_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy_sunshine processes. Periodt. 💅

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_sunshine processes via flexible mandatory access control. Like, it's literally the bouncer for your processes, no cap.

The telepathy_sunshine processes execute with the telepathy_sunshine_t SELinux type, which is their whole vibe. Wanna check if you have these processes running? Just run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like:

ps -eZ | grep telepathy_sunshine_t

Go ahead, it ate. 🦋

🧚 ENTRYPOINTS 🧚

The telepathy_sunshine_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepathy_sunshine_exec_t file type. That's the VIP door, iykyk.

The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_sunshine_t domain are literally just:

/usr/libexec/telepathy-sunshine

One path, one icon, we love a minimal queen. 👑

💜 PROCESS TYPES 💜

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Hi, main character energy.

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. The SELinux telepathy_sunshine policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their telepathy_sunshine processes in as secure a method as possible. Flexible and secure, we contain multitudes.

The following process types are defined for telepathy_sunshine:

  • telepathy_sunshine_t
Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_sunshine_t can be used to make the process type telepathy_sunshine_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So like, it's still watching you, just not stopping you. Spooky but make it useful. 👀

🍓 BOOLEANS 🍓

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The telepathy_sunshine policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_sunshine with the tightest access possible. Tightest access possible, we love a locked-down era. 🔒

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default, bestie.

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

That's the whole boolean buffet. Two options, both iconic in their own way. 🥂

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type telepathy_sunshine_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 — like, SELinux said "I did my part," and UID said "say less." 😭

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

telepathy_sunshine_home_t

/home/[^/]+/.telepathy-sunshine(/.*)?

telepathy_sunshine_tmp_t

(no default paths listed, but she's in the squad regardless 💅)

🦋 FILE CONTEXTS 🦋

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Like a little label on every file, highkey obsessed.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls. Try it, it's cute.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. The SELinux telepathy_sunshine policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their telepathy_sunshine processes in as secure a method as possible. (Yes, we said this before. It's still true. Repetition is a love language. 🫶)

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_sunshine. 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. Like:

semanage fcontext -a -t telepathy_sunshine_exec_t '/srv/telepathy_sunshine/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_sunshine_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 telepathy_sunshine:

  • telepathy_sunshine_exec_t — Set files with the telepathy_sunshine_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the telepathy_sunshine_t domain.
  • telepathy_sunshine_home_t — Set files with the telepathy_sunshine_home_t type, if you want to store telepathy sunshine files in the users home directory.
  • telepathy_sunshine_tmp_t — Set files with the telepathy_sunshine_tmp_t type, if you want to store telepathy sunshine 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 is literally the plot of every coming-of-age movie. 🌸

💖 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 GUI?? For the girlies who like clicking. 🖱️✨
