NAME¶

munin_script_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the munin_script processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The munin_script processes execute with the munin_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 munin_script_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The munin_script_t SELinux type can be entered via the shell_exec_t, munin_script_exec_t, munin_script_exec_t file types.

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

/bin/d?ash, /bin/zsh.*, /bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/zsh.*, /bin/esh, /bin/mksh, /bin/sash, /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash, /bin/bash, /bin/fish, /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /usr/bin/sash, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/yash, /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/bash, /sbin/nologin, /usr/sbin/sesh, /usr/bin/bash2, /usr/sbin/smrsh, /usr/bin/scponly, /usr/sbin/nologin, /usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/sbin/scponlyc, /usr/bin/git-shell, /usr/libexec/sudo/sesh, /usr/bin/cockpit-bridge, /usr/libexec/cockpit-agent, /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell, /var/www/cgi-bin/munin.*, /var/www/html/cgi/munin.*, /var/www/html/munin/cgi(/.*)?, /var/www/cgi-bin/munin.*, /var/www/html/cgi/munin.*, /var/www/html/munin/cgi(/.*)?

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

The following process types are defined for munin_script:

munin_script_t

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

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 httpd cgi support, you must turn on the httpd_enable_cgi boolean. Disabled 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

MANAGED FILES¶

The SELinux process type munin_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.

munin_log_t

/var/log/munin.*

munin_rw_content_t

munin_script_tmp_t

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the munin_script, 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 munin_script_tmp_t '/srv/mymunin_script_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mymunin_script_content

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

The following file types are defined for munin_script:

munin_script_exec_t

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

Paths:

/var/www/cgi-bin/munin.*, /var/www/html/cgi/munin.*, /var/www/html/munin/cgi(/.*)?

munin_script_tmp_t

- Set files with the munin_script_tmp_t type, if you want to store munin script 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.

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.
