dspam_selinux - Man Page

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

The dspam processes execute with the dspam_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 dspam_t

The dspam_t SELinux type can be entered via the dspam_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/dspam

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 psbP

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux dspam policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dspam processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for dspam:

dspam_t, dspam_script_t

Note: semanage permissive -a dspam_t can be used to make the process type dspam_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  dspam policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run dspam with the tightest access possible.

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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

The SELinux process type dspam_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.

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 lsbP

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux dspam policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dspam processes in as secure a method as possible.

EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES

dspam policy stores data with multiple different file context types under the /var/lib/dspam directory.  If you would like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:

semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/dspam /srv/dspam
restorecon -R -v /srv/dspam

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the dspam, 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 dspam_exec_t '/srv/dspam/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mydspam_content

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

The following file types are defined for dspam:

dspam_content_t

- Set files with the dspam_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as dspam content.

dspam_exec_t

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

dspam_htaccess_t

- Set files with the dspam_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the file as a dspam access file.

dspam_initrc_exec_t

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

dspam_log_t

- Set files with the dspam_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as dspam log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

dspam_ra_content_t

- Set files with the dspam_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as dspam read/append content.

dspam_rw_content_t

- Set files with the dspam_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as dspam read/write content.

dspam_script_exec_t

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

Paths:

/var/www/dspam/.*.cgi, /usr/share/dspam-web/dspam.cgi

dspam_var_lib_t

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

dspam_var_run_t

- Set files with the dspam_var_run_t type, if you want to store the dspam 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.

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.
