NAME

       sosreport_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sosreport processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  sosreport  processes  execute with the sosreport_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 sosreport_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The sosreport_t SELinux type can be entered via the unlabeled_t, proc_type, file_type, mtrr_device_t, filesystem_type, sysctl_type,  sosre-
       port_exec_t file types.

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

       all files on the system, /dev/cpu/mtrr, /usr/sbin/sosreport

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 sosreport policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sosre-
       port processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for sosreport:

       sosreport_t

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

BOOLEANS

       SELinux	policy is customizable based on least access required.	sosreport policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run sosreport 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  authlo-
       gin_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 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 control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/kernel/mmap_min_addr, you must  turn
       on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 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. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

       If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1

       If  you	want  to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values.  Set
       this to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the secure_mode_policyload boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1

       If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory executable.  Doing this is a really bad idea.  Probably  indicates  a
       badly  coded  executable,  but  could  indicate	an  attack.  This  executable  should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin-
       uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1

       If you want to allow all unconfined executables to use libraries requiring text relocation that are not labeled textrel_shlib_t,  you  must
       turn on the selinuxuser_execmod boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execmod 1

       If  you	want  to  allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.	This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
       badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable should  be  reported  in  bugzilla,  you  must  turn  on  the  selin-
       uxuser_execstack boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 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

       If you want to support X userspace object manager, you must turn on the xserver_object_manager boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P xserver_object_manager 1

       If you want to allow ZoneMinder to run su/sudo, you must turn on the zoneminder_run_sudo boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P zoneminder_run_sudo 1

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

       If  you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server for the sosreport_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 sosreport_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

       The SELinux process type sosreport_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.

       file_type

	    all files on the system

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the sosreport, 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 sosreport_exec_t '/srv/sosreport/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysosreport_content

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

       The following file types are defined for sosreport:

       sosreport_exec_t

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

       sosreport_tmp_t

       - Set files with the sosreport_tmp_t type, if you want to store sosreport temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       sosreport_tmpfs_t

       - Set files with the sosreport_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store sosreport files on a tmpfs file system.

       sosreport_var_run_t

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

       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.
