NAME¶

courier_pop_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the courier_pop processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The courier_pop processes execute with the courier_pop_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 courier_pop_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The courier_pop_t SELinux type can be entered via the courier_pop_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/lib/courier/courier/courierpop.*, /usr/bin/imapd, /usr/sbin/imaplogin, /usr/lib/courier/imapd, /usr/lib/courier/pop3d, /usr/sbin/courier-imapd, /usr/lib/courier/courier/imaplogin

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

The following process types are defined for courier_pop:

courier_pop_t

Note: semanage permissive -a courier_pop_t can be used to make the process type courier_pop_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. courier_pop policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run courier_pop with the tightest access possible.

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 courier_pop_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(/.*)?

cluster_var_lib_t

/var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
/var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
/var/lib/openais(/.*)?
/var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
/var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
/usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

cluster_var_run_t

/var/run/crm(/.*)?
/var/run/cman_.*
/var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?
/var/run/aisexec.*
/var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/run/pcsd-ruby.socket
/var/run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?
/var/run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?
/var/run/corosync.pid
/var/run/cpglockd.pid
/var/run/rgmanager.pid
/var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

courier_var_run_t

/var/run/courier(/.*)?

root_t

/sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
/
/initrd

user_home_t

/home/[^/]+/.+

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

The following file types are defined for courier_pop:

courier_pop_exec_t

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

Paths:

/usr/lib/courier/courier/courierpop.*, /usr/bin/imapd, /usr/sbin/imaplogin, /usr/lib/courier/imapd, /usr/lib/courier/pop3d, /usr/sbin/courier-imapd, /usr/lib/courier/courier/imaplogin

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 boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

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