mozilla_selinux(8) mozilla SELinux Policy documentation mozilla_selinux(8)NAMEmozilla_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mozilla pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mozilla processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mozilla
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run mozilla with the tightest access possi‐
ble.
If you want to allow confined web browsers to read home directory con‐
ten, you must turn on the mozilla_read_content boolean.
setsebool -P mozilla_read_content 1
If you want to allow unconfined users to transition to the Mozilla
plugin domain when running xulrunner plugin-container, you must turn on
the unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition boolean.
setsebool -P unconfined_mozilla_plugin_transition 1
If you want to allow mozilla_plugins to create random content in the
users home director, you must turn on the mozilla_plugin_enable_home‐
dirs boolean.
setsebool -P mozilla_plugin_enable_homedirs 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the
mozilla_plugin_config_t, mozilla_t, mozilla_plugin_t, you must turn on
the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
mozilla_plugin_config_t, mozilla_t, mozilla_plugin_t, you must turn on
the allow_kerberos boolean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the mozilla_plugin_con‐
fig_t, mozilla_t, mozilla_plugin_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind
boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 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 mozilla policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
mozilla processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for mozilla:
mozilla_conf_t
- Set files with the mozilla_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
files as mozilla configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
directory.
mozilla_exec_t
- Set files with the mozilla_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the mozilla_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/lib/[^/]*firefox[^/]*/firefox, /usr/lib/galeon/galeon,
/usr/lib/netscape/.+/communicator/communicator-smotif.real,
/usr/bin/netscape, /usr/bin/mozilla-bin-[0-9].*,
/usr/bin/epiphany-bin, /usr/lib/mozilla[^/]*/reg.+, /usr/lib/net‐
scape/base-4/wrapper, /usr/bin/mozilla-snapshot,
/usr/lib/[^/]*firefox[^/]*/firefox-bin, /usr/bin/mozilla-[0-9].*,
/usr/lib/firefox[^/]*/mozilla-.*,
/usr/lib/mozilla[^/]*/mozilla-.*, /usr/bin/mozilla,
/usr/bin/epiphany
mozilla_home_t
- Set files with the mozilla_home_t type, if you want to store mozilla
files in the users home directory.
mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t
- Set files with the mozilla_plugin_config_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the mozilla_plugin_config_t domain.
mozilla_plugin_exec_t
- Set files with the mozilla_plugin_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the mozilla_plugin_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/bin/nspluginscan, /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/npviewer.bin,
/usr/lib/xulrunner[^/]*/plugin-container, /usr/bin/nspluginviewer
mozilla_plugin_rw_t
- Set files with the mozilla_plugin_rw_t type, if you want to treat the
files as mozilla plugin read/write content.
mozilla_plugin_tmp_t
- Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store
mozilla plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the mozilla_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
mozilla plugin files on a tmpfs file system.
mozilla_tmp_t
- Set files with the mozilla_tmp_t type, if you want to store mozilla
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
mozilla_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the mozilla_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store mozilla
files on a tmpfs file system.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
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
mozilla policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mozilla
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for mozilla:
mozilla_t, mozilla_plugin_config_t, mozilla_plugin_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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 pol‐
icy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
