NAME¶

setrans_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the setrans processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The setrans processes execute with the setrans_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 setrans_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The setrans_t SELinux type can be entered via the setrans_exec_t file type.

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

/sbin/mcstransd, /usr/sbin/mcstransd

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

The following process types are defined for setrans:

setrans_t

Note: semanage permissive -a setrans_t can be used to make the process type setrans_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. setrans policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run setrans 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 setrans_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

root_t

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

security_t

/selinux

setrans_var_run_t

/var/run/setrans(/.*)?
/var/run/mcstransd.pid

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the setrans, 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 setrans_var_run_t '/srv/mysetrans_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysetrans_content

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

The following file types are defined for setrans:

setrans_exec_t

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

Paths:

/sbin/mcstransd, /usr/sbin/mcstransd

setrans_initrc_exec_t

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

setrans_var_run_t

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

Paths:

/var/run/setrans(/.*)?, /var/run/mcstransd.pid

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.
