DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svc processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 svc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their svc
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for svc:
svc_conf_t
- Set files with the svc_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as
svc configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
Paths:
/var/dnscache/env(/.*)?, /var/tinydns/env(/.*)?,
/var/axfrdns/env(/.*)?, /var/service/.*/env(/.*)?
svc_log_t
- Set files with the svc_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
svc log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
svc_multilog_exec_t
- Set files with the svc_multilog_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the svc_multilog_t domain.
svc_run_exec_t
- Set files with the svc_run_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the svc_run_t domain.
Paths:
/var/tinydns/run, /var/qmail/supervise/.*/run,
/var/axfrdns/log/run, /usr/bin/setuidgid, /usr/bin/fghack,
/var/tinydns/log/run, /var/service/.*/log/run, /var/axfrdns/run,
/var/qmail/supervise/.*/log/run, /usr/bin/envuidgid,
/usr/bin/envdir, /var/dnscache/run, /usr/bin/softlimit, /var/ser‐
vice/.*/run.*, /usr/bin/pgrphack, /var/dnscache/log/run,
/usr/bin/setlock
svc_start_exec_t
- Set files with the svc_start_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the svc_start_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/bin/svok, /usr/bin/svscan, /usr/bin/svc, /usr/bin/svscanboot,
/usr/bin/supervise
svc_svc_t
- Set files with the svc_svc_t type, if you want to treat the files as
svc svc data.
Paths:
/service, /var/tinydns(/.*)?, /service/.*, /var/service/.*,
/var/qmail/supervise(/.*)?, /var/dnscache(/.*)?,
/var/axfrdns(/.*)?
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
svc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their svc processes
in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for svc:
svc_multilog_t, svc_start_t, svc_run_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.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
