NAME¶

ricci_modcluster_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ricci_modcluster processes

DESCRIPTION¶

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ricci_modcluster processes via flexible mandatory access control.

The ricci_modcluster processes execute with the ricci_modcluster_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 ricci_modcluster_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The ricci_modcluster_t SELinux type can be entered via the ricci_modcluster_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/libexec/modcluster

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

The following process types are defined for ricci_modcluster:

ricci_modcluster_t, ricci_modclusterd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a ricci_modcluster_t can be used to make the process type ricci_modcluster_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS¶

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ricci_modcluster policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run ricci_modcluster with the tightest access possible.

If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1

If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1

If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 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

If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P global_ssp 1

If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 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 confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

PORT TYPES¶

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

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

The following port types are defined for ricci_modcluster:

ricci_modcluster_port_t

Default Defined Ports: tcp 16851 udp 16851

MANAGED FILES¶

The SELinux process type ricci_modcluster_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.

cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

systemd_passwd_var_run_t

/var/run/systemd/ask-password(/.*)?
/var/run/systemd/ask-password-block(/.*)?

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the ricci_modcluster, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

semanage fcontext -a -t ricci_modclusterd_tmpfs_t '/srv/myricci_modcluster_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myricci_modcluster_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for ricci_modcluster:

ricci_modcluster_exec_t

- Set files with the ricci_modcluster_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ricci_modcluster_t domain.

ricci_modcluster_var_lib_t

- Set files with the ricci_modcluster_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the ricci modcluster files under the /var/lib directory.

ricci_modcluster_var_log_t

- Set files with the ricci_modcluster_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as ricci modcluster var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

ricci_modcluster_var_run_t

- Set files with the ricci_modcluster_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ricci modcluster files under the /run or /var/run directory.

Paths:

/var/run/clumond.sock, /var/run/modclusterd.pid

ricci_modclusterd_exec_t

- Set files with the ricci_modclusterd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ricci_modclusterd_t domain.

ricci_modclusterd_tmpfs_t

- Set files with the ricci_modclusterd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store ricci modclusterd files on a tmpfs file system.

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.

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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
