Debian: 2169-1: telepathy-gabble: insufficient input validati

LinuxSecurity.com: It was discovered that telepathy-gabble, the Jabber/XMMP connection manager for the Telepathy framework, is processing google:jingleinfo updates without validating their origin. This may allow an attacker to trick telepathy-gabble into relaying streamed media data through a server of his choice and thus [More...]

[Debian] Stop input from keyboard and mouse

Dear friends, I need to stop getting input from keyboard and mouse at some specific time like, every day from 6 PM to 7PM likewise. How can I do this. Kindly guide me to do this. I need to block the input. I am using Debian OS. (5 Replies)

NAME
telepathy_gabble_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy_gabble processes DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_gabble processes via flexible mandatory access control. The telepathy_gabble processes execute with the telepathy_gabble_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe- cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep telepathy_gabble_t ENTRYPOINTS
The telepathy_gabble_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepathy_gabble_exec_t file type. The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_gabble_t domain are the following: /usr/libexec/telepathy-gabble 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 telepathy_gabble policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their telepathy_gabble processes in as secure a method as possible. The following process types are defined for telepathy_gabble: telepathy_gabble_t Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_gabble_t can be used to make the process type telepathy_gabble_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. telepathy_gabble policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_gabble 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 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 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 allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_con- nect_generic_network_ports boolean. Enabled by default. setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1 If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 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 NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server for the telepathy_gabble_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 telepathy_gabble_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1 MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type telepathy_gabble_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. cache_home_t /root/.cache(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.nv(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache(/.*)? cifs_t config_home_t /root/.kde(/.*)? /root/.xine(/.*)? /root/.config(/.*)? /var/run/user/[^/]*/dconf(/.*)? /root/.Xdefaults /home/[^/]*/.kde(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.xine(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.config(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache/dconf(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.Xdefaults ecryptfs_t /home/[^/]*/.Private(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.ecryptfs(/.*)? fusefs_t /var/run/[^/]*/gvfs nfs_t telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t /home/[^/]*/.cache/wocky(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache/telepathy/gabble(/.*)? /home/[^/]*/.cache/telepathy/avatars/gabble(/.*)? 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 telepathy_gabble policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their telepathy_gabble processes in as secure a method as possible. STANDARD FILE CONTEXT SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_gabble, 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 telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t '/srv/telepathy_gabble/content(/.*)?' restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_gabble_content Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. The following file types are defined for telepathy_gabble: telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_cache_home_t type, if you want to store telepathy gabble cache files in the users home directory. Paths: /home/[^/]*/.cache/wocky(/.*)?, /home/[^/]*/.cache/telepathy/gabble(/.*)?, /home/[^/]*/.cache/telepathy/avatars/gabble(/.*)? telepathy_gabble_exec_t - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the telepathy_gabble_t domain. telepathy_gabble_tmp_t - Set files with the telepathy_gabble_tmp_t type, if you want to store telepathy gabble temporary files in the /tmp directories. 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.
