NAME

telepathy_logger_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy_logger processes

DESCRIPTION

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

The telepathy_logger processes execute with the telepathy_logger_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 telepathy_logger_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The telepathy_logger_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepathy_logger_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/libexec/telepathy-logger

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

The following process types are defined for telepathy_logger:

telepathy_logger_t

Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_logger_t can be used to make the process type telepathy_logger_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_logger policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_logger 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 authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 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. 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

MANAGED FILES

The SELinux process type telepathy_logger_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.

/home/[^/]+/.local/share/TpLogger(/.*)?

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_logger, 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 telepathy_logger_exec_t '/srv/telepathy_logger/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_logger_content

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

The following file types are defined for telepathy_logger:

telepathy_logger_cache_home_t

- Set files with the telepathy_logger_cache_home_t type, if you want to store telepathy logger cache files in the users home directory.

telepathy_logger_data_home_t

- Set files with the telepathy_logger_data_home_t type, if you want to store telepathy logger data files in the users home directory.

telepathy_logger_exec_t

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

telepathy_logger_tmp_t

- Set files with the telepathy_logger_tmp_t type, if you want to store telepathy logger 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.
