NAME¶

usbmuxd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the usbmuxd processes

DESCRIPTION¶

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

The usbmuxd processes execute with the usbmuxd_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 usbmuxd_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The usbmuxd_t SELinux type can be entered via the usbmuxd_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/usbmuxd

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

The following process types are defined for usbmuxd:

usbmuxd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a usbmuxd_t can be used to make the process type usbmuxd_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. usbmuxd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run usbmuxd 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 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 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 usbmuxd_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 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 usbmuxd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their usbmuxd processes in as secure a method as possible.

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the usbmuxd, 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 usbmuxd_exec_t '/srv/usbmuxd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myusbmuxd_content

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

The following file types are defined for usbmuxd:

usbmuxd_exec_t

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

usbmuxd_unit_file_t

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

usbmuxd_var_lib_t

- Set files with the usbmuxd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the usbmuxd files under the /var/lib directory.

usbmuxd_var_run_t

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

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.
