abrt_selinux(8) SELinux Policy abrt abrt_selinux(8)

NAME

abrt_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the abrt processes

DESCRIPTION

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

The abrt processes execute with the abrt_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 abrt_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The abrt_t SELinux type can be entered via the abrt_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/abrt-harvest.*, /usr/bin/abrtd, /usr/bin/abrt-dbus, /usr/bin/abrt-install-ccpp-hook

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

The following process types are defined for abrt:

abrt_t, abrt_dump_oops_t, abrt_handle_event_t, abrt_helper_t, abrt_retrace_worker_t, abrt_retrace_coredump_t, abrt_watch_log_t, abrt_upload_watch_t

Note: semanage permissive -a abrt_t can be used to make the process type abrt_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. abrt policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run abrt with the tightest access possible.

If you want to determine whether ABRT can run in the abrt_handle_event_t domain to handle ABRT event scripts, you must turn on the abrt_handle_event boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P abrt_handle_event 1

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 authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P deny_execmem 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 allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled 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

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

EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES

abrt policy stores data with multiple different file context types under the /var/cache/abrt directory. If you would like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:

semanage fcontext -a -e /var/cache/abrt /srv/abrt
restorecon -R -v /srv/abrt

abrt policy stores data with multiple different file context types under the /var/spool/abrt directory. If you would like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:

semanage fcontext -a -e /var/spool/abrt /srv/abrt
restorecon -R -v /srv/abrt

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the abrt, if you wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

semanage fcontext -a -t abrt_exec_t '/srv/abrt/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myabrt_content

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

The following file types are defined for abrt:

abrt_dump_oops_exec_t

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

/usr/bin/abrt-dump-.*, /usr/bin/abrt-uefioops-oops, /usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp

abrt_etc_t

- Set files with the abrt_etc_t type, if you want to store abrt files in the /etc directories.

abrt_exec_t

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

/usr/bin/abrt-harvest.*, /usr/bin/abrtd, /usr/bin/abrt-dbus, /usr/bin/abrt-install-ccpp-hook

abrt_handle_event_exec_t

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

/usr/libexec/abrt-handle-event, /usr/bin/abrt-action-generate-backtrace

abrt_helper_exec_t

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

abrt_initrc_exec_t

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

abrt_retrace_cache_t

- Set files with the abrt_retrace_cache_t type, if you want to store the files under the /var/cache directory.

/var/cache/abrt-retrace(/.*)?, /var/cache/retrace-server(/.*)?

abrt_retrace_coredump_exec_t

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

abrt_retrace_spool_t

- Set files with the abrt_retrace_spool_t type, if you want to store the abrt retrace files under the /var/spool directory.

/var/spool/faf(/.*)?, /var/spool/abrt-retrace(/.*)?, /var/spool/retrace-server(/.*)?

abrt_retrace_worker_exec_t

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

/usr/bin/abrt-retrace-worker, /usr/bin/retrace-server-worker

abrt_tmp_t

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

abrt_unit_file_t

- Set files with the abrt_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as abrt unit content.

abrt_upload_watch_exec_t

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

abrt_upload_watch_tmp_t

- Set files with the abrt_upload_watch_tmp_t type, if you want to store abrt upload watch temporary files in the /tmp directories.

abrt_var_cache_t

- Set files with the abrt_var_cache_t type, if you want to store the files under the /var/cache directory.

/var/tmp/abrt(/.*)?, /var/cache/abrt(/.*)?, /var/spool/abrt(/.*)?, /var/spool/debug(/.*)?, /var/cache/abrt-di(/.*)?, /var/spool/rhsm/debug(/.*)?

abrt_var_lib_t

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

/run/abrt(/.*)?, /run/abrtd?.lock, /run/abrtd?.socket, /run/abrt.pid

abrt_watch_log_exec_t

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

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.

SHARING FILES

If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.

semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/abrt(/.*)?"
restorecon -F -R -v /var/abrt

semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/abrt/incoming(/.*)?"
restorecon -F -R -v /var/abrt/incoming
setsebool -P abrt_anon_write 1

If you want to allow ABRT to modify public files used for public file transfer services., you must turn on the abrt_anon_write boolean.

setsebool -P abrt_anon_write 1

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.
