ccs_selinux: Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ccs processes
NAME
ccs_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ccs processesDESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ccs processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The ccs processes execute with the ccs_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 ccs_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The ccs_t SELinux type can be entered via the ccs_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the ccs_t domain are the following:
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the systemYou can see the context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux ccs policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ccs processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for ccs:
ccs_t
Note: semanage permissive -a ccs_t can be used to make the process type ccs_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. ccs policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run ccs with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1
If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1
If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 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 enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P global_ssp 1
If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type ccs_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.
ccs_tmp_t
ccs_tmpfs_t
ccs_var_lib_t
ccs_var_run_t
cluster_conf_t
cluster_var_lib_t
cluster_var_run_t
initrc_tmp_t
qpidd_tmpfs_t
root_t
unlabeled_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 lsP Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux ccs policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ccs processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the ccs, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t ccs_var_run_t '/srv/myccs_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myccs_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for ccs:
ccs_exec_t
- Set files with the ccs_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ccs_t domain.
- Paths:
-
/sbin/ccsd, /usr/sbin/ccsd
ccs_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the ccs_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ccs_initrc_t domain.
ccs_tmp_t
- Set files with the ccs_tmp_t type, if you want to store ccs temporary files in the /tmp directories.
ccs_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the ccs_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store ccs files on a tmpfs file system.
ccs_var_lib_t
- Set files with the ccs_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the ccs files under the /var/lib directory.
ccs_var_log_t
- Set files with the ccs_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as ccs var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
ccs_var_run_t
- Set files with the ccs_var_run_t type, if you want to store the ccs files under the /run or /var/run directory.
- Paths:
-
/var/run/cluster/((ccs)|(ccsd)).pid, /var/run/cluster/((ccs)|(ccsd)).sock
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.
