NAME¶

winbind_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the winbind processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The winbind processes execute with the winbind_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 winbind_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The winbind_t SELinux type can be entered via the winbind_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/sbin/winbindd

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

The following process types are defined for winbind:

winbind_helper_t, winbind_t

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

If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core 1

If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1

If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1

setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1

If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 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 enable support for upstart as the init program, you must turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P init_upstart 1

If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the winbind, 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 winbind_var_run_t '/srv/mywinbind_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mywinbind_content

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

The following file types are defined for winbind:

winbind_exec_t

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

winbind_helper_exec_t

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

winbind_log_t

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

winbind_var_run_t

- Set files with the winbind_var_run_t type, if you want to store the winbind files under the /run or /var/run directory.

Paths:

/var/run/winbindd(/.*)?, /var/lib/samba/winbindd_privileged(/.*)?, /var/cache/samba/winbindd_privileged(/.*)?

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.
