NAME

services_munin_plugin_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the services_munin_plugin processes

DESCRIPTION

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

The services_munin_plugin processes execute with the services_munin_plugin_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 services_munin_plugin_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The services_munin_plugin_t SELinux type can be entered via the services_munin_plugin_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/share/munin/plugins/nut.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/slapd_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/squid_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/apache_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/tomcat_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/varnish_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/postgres_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/named, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ping_, /usr/share/munin/plugins/samba, /usr/share/munin/plugins/lpstat, /usr/share/munin/plugins/openvpn, /usr/share/munin/plugins/fail2ban, /usr/share/munin/plugins/http_loadtime

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

The following process types are defined for services_munin_plugin:

services_munin_plugin_t

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

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 use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

MANAGED FILES

The SELinux process type services_munin_plugin_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.

munin_plugin_state_t

/var/lib/munin/plugin-state(/.*)?

services_munin_plugin_tmp_t

services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the services_munin_plugin, 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 services_munin_plugin_exec_t '/srv/services_munin_plugin/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myservices_munin_plugin_content

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

The following file types are defined for services_munin_plugin:

services_munin_plugin_exec_t

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

/usr/share/munin/plugins/nut.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ntp_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/snmp_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/mysql_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/slapd_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/squid_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/apache_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/tomcat_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/varnish_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/postgres_.*, /usr/share/munin/plugins/named, /usr/share/munin/plugins/ping_, /usr/share/munin/plugins/samba, /usr/share/munin/plugins/lpstat, /usr/share/munin/plugins/openvpn, /usr/share/munin/plugins/fail2ban, /usr/share/munin/plugins/http_loadtime

services_munin_plugin_tmp_t

- Set files with the services_munin_plugin_tmp_t type, if you want to store services munin plugin temporary files in the /tmp directories.

services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t

- Set files with the services_munin_plugin_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store services munin plugin files on a tmpfs file system.

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.
