NAME¶

sandbox_web_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sandbox_web processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The sandbox_web processes execute with the sandbox_web_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 sandbox_web_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The sandbox_web_t SELinux type can be entered via the file_type file type.

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

all files on the system

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

The following process types are defined for sandbox_web:

sandbox_web_t, sandbox_web_client_t

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

MCS Constrained¶

The SELinux process type sandbox_web_t is an MCS (Multi Category Security) constrained type. Sometimes this separation is referred to as sVirt. These types are usually used for securing multi-tenant environments, such as virtualization, containers or separation of users. The tools used to launch MCS types, pick out a different MCS label for each process group.

For example one process might be launched with sandbox_web_t:s0:c1,c2, and another process launched with sandbox_web_t:s0:c3,c4. The SELinux kernel only allows these processes can only write to content with a matching MCS label, or a MCS Label of s0. A process running with the MCS level of s0:c1,c2 is not allowed to write to content with the MCS label of s0:c3,c4

BOOLEANS¶

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sandbox_web policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run sandbox_web 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 user domains applications to map a memory region as both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P deny_execmem 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

If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1

If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES¶

The SELinux process type sandbox_web_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.

cifs_t

fusefs_t

/var/run/user/[^/]*/gvfs

mozilla_plugin_rw_t

/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins-wrapped(/.*)?

mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t

nfs_t

sandbox_file_t

sandbox_web_client_tmpfs_t

security_t

/selinux

user_tmp_t

/dev/shm/mono.*
/var/run/user(/.*)?
/tmp/.X11-unix(/.*)?
/tmp/.ICE-unix(/.*)?
/dev/shm/pulse-shm.*
/tmp/.X0-lock
/tmp/hsperfdata_root
/var/tmp/hsperfdata_root
/home/[^/]+/tmp
/home/[^/]+/.tmp
/tmp/gconfd-[^/]+

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.
