<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">systemd_coredump_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
systemd_coredump processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the systemd_coredump processes via flexible
mandatory access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
systemd_coredump processes execute with the
systemd_coredump_t SELinux type. You can check if you have
these processes running by executing the <b>ps</b> command
with the <b>−Z</b> qualifier.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For
example:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>ps -eZ |
grep systemd_coredump_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
systemd_coredump_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>systemd_coredump_exec_t</b> file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the systemd_coredump_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/bin/systemd-coredump,
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump</p>
<h2>PROCESS TYPES
<a name="PROCESS TYPES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
process types (domains) for each process running on the
system</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a process using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ps</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
systemd_coredump policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their systemd_coredump processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for systemd_coredump:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>systemd_coredump_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a systemd_coredump_t</b> can be used
to make the process type systemd_coredump_t permissive.
SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types,
but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still
generated.</p>
<h2>BOOLEANS
<a name="BOOLEANS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux policy
is customizable based on least access required.
systemd_coredump policy is extremely flexible and has
several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and
run systemd_coredump with the tightest access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the
executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on
the deny_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
deny_execmem 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on
the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
fips_mode 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you must
turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
kerberos_enabled 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space,
as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn
on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
mmap_low_allowed 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nis_enabled 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you
must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nscd_use_shm 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
secure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
secure_mode_insmod 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably
indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an
attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla, you
must turn on the selinuxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
selinuxuser_execheap 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.
This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This
executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on
the selinuxuser_execstack boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P

<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type systemd_coredump_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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>file_type</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">all files on
the system</p>
<h2>FILE CONTEXTS
<a name="FILE CONTEXTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux
requires files to have an extended attribute to define the
file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a file using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ls</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux
systemd_coredump policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their systemd_coredump processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>STANDARD
FILE CONTEXT</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
the file context types for the systemd_coredump, 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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext -a -t systemd_coredump_tmpfs_t
’/srv/mysystemd_coredump_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysystemd_coredump_content</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note: SELinux
often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match
multiple files.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>The
following file types are defined for
systemd_coredump:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>systemd_coredump_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the systemd_coredump_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the systemd_coredump_t domain.
<br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/bin/systemd-coredump,
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>systemd_coredump_tmpfs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the systemd_coredump_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
systemd coredump files on a tmpfs file system.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 <b>semanage fcontext</b> command. This will
modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use
<b>restorecon</b> to apply the labels.</p>
<h2>COMMANDS
<a name="COMMANDS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext</b> can also be used to manipulate default file
context mappings.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
permissive</b> can also be used to manipulate whether or not
a process type is permissive.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
