NAME¶

pki_tomcat_script_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pki_tomcat_script processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The pki_tomcat_script processes execute with the pki_tomcat_script_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 pki_tomcat_script_t

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

The following process types are defined for pki_tomcat_script:

pki_tomcat_script_t

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

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 control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/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 disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the secure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 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 selinuxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 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 selinuxuser_execstack boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1

MANAGED FILES¶

The SELinux process type pki_tomcat_script_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

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.
