polipo_selinux(8) polipo SELinux Policy documentation polipo_selinux(8)NAMEpolipo_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the polipo pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the polipo processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. polipo
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run polipo with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow polipo to connect to all ports > 102, you must
turn on the polipo_connect_all_unreserved boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_connect_all_unreserved 1
If you want to determine whether polipo can access cifs file systems,
you must turn on the polipo_use_cifs boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_use_cifs 1
If you want to determine whether Polipo session daemon can send syslog
messages, you must turn on the polipo_session_send_syslog_msg boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_session_send_syslog_msg 1
If you want to determine whether Polipo session daemon can bind tcp
sockets to all unreserved ports, you must turn on the polipo_ses‐
sion_bind_all_unreserved_ports boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_session_bind_all_unreserved_ports 1
If you want to determine whether calling user domains can execute
Polipo daemon in the polipo_session_t domain, you must turn on the
polipo_session_users boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_session_users 1
If you want to determine whether Polipo can access nfs file systems,
you must turn on the polipo_use_nfs boolean.
setsebool -P polipo_use_nfs 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the
polipo_t, polipo_session_t, you must turn on the authlogin_nss‐
witch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
polipo_t, polipo_session_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos bool‐
ean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the polipo_t,
polipo_session_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
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 polipo policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
polipo processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for polipo:
polipo_cache_home_t
- Set files with the polipo_cache_home_t type, if you want to store
polipo cache files in the users home directory.
polipo_cache_t
- Set files with the polipo_cache_t type, if you want to store the
files under the /var/cache directory.
polipo_config_home_t
- Set files with the polipo_config_home_t type, if you want to store
polipo config files in the users home directory.
polipo_etc_t
- Set files with the polipo_etc_t type, if you want to store polipo
files in the /etc directories.
polipo_exec_t
- Set files with the polipo_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the polipo_t domain.
polipo_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the polipo_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the polipo_initrc_t domain.
polipo_log_t
- Set files with the polipo_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as polipo log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
polipo_pid_t
- Set files with the polipo_pid_t type, if you want to store the polipo
files under the /run directory.
polipo_unit_file_t
- Set files with the polipo_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as polipo unit content.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
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
polipo policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their polipo
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for polipo:
polipo_t, polipo_session_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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 pol‐
icy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
