πŸ’… webalize..._selinux(8) β€” like, the whole SELinux glow-up for webalizer_script ✨

okay bestie, so this page is the SELinux Policy webalizer_script manual, and it's genuinely a lil bop once you get the vibe. let's go πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

webalizer_script_selinux β€” Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the webalizer_script processes. that's it, that's the name, she's iconic πŸ’–


🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the webalizer_script processes via flexible mandatory access control. literally mandatory, like a group chat you can't leave 🫢

The webalizer_script processes execute with the webalizer_script_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 webalizer_script_t

that's the vibe check right there πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ ENTRYPOINTS πŸ¦‹

The webalizer_script_t SELinux type can be entered via the webalizer_script_exec_t file type.

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

and then... nothing πŸ’€ like, the list is genuinely empty on this page. no paths listed. not me pointing at an empty list but also β€” that's what the manpage says, so i'm saying it too πŸ™ˆ

πŸ‘‘ PROCESS TYPES πŸ‘‘

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. SELinux webalizer_script policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their webalizer_script processes in as secure a method as possible. she's flexible and secure, main character energy fr fr ✨

The following process types are defined for webalizer_script:

  • webalizer_script_t
Note: semanage permissive -a webalizer_script_t can be used to make the process type webalizer_script_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, she's chill about denying you, but she's still gonna talk about it 😭

πŸ“ BOOLEANS πŸ“

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. webalizer_script policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run webalizer_script with the tightest access possible. tightest access possible = the fitted dress of security πŸ’…

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 httpd cgi support, you must turn on the httpd_enable_cgi boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 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

see how two of those are already enabled and one isn't? keep that energy, don't flip booleans you don't mean to flip 🧚


πŸ’œ MANAGED FILES πŸ’œ

The SELinux process type webalizer_script_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. yes, both layers. SELinux is not doing your whole job for you, bestie 🌈

  • webalizer_rw_content_t
    • /var/www/usage(/.*)?

that regex-looking path is exactly what it is, don't touch it, don't "clean it up", it's perfect as is 🌸


⭐ COMMANDS ⭐

seBoolean... no wait, let's do this properly 😌

  • 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.

one GUI tool for the girlies who want buttons instead of flags, we respect both 🫢
