| Subjects and objects ( processes and "files" )
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| explain that everything in a system is a object
| |
| | |
| explain that even subjects in a system are represented as objects in proc mountpoint
| |
| | |
| explain subjects and objects
| |
| | |
| explain subjects are processes (ps auxZ)
| |
| | |
| explain objects are "files" (ls -alZ)
| |
| | |
| - file objects ( files , lnk files, dirs, fifo files, sock files etc)
| |
| | |
| - port objects
| |
| | |
| - interface objects
| |
| | |
| - node objects
| |
| | |
| - objects available by other programs ACE access control extension: XACE, sepostgesql, SEDBUS, mscd, etc.
| |
| | |
| - explain object is a class defined in kernel :process :file :tcp_socket
| |
| | |
| example of a class: process. example of a class: file
| |
| | |
| explain domain type is the attribute of a process ( user_t is (user) domain type/attribute of "user"
| |
| | |
| explain object type is the attribute of a object or "file". do not mistake files with file objects/file types. a "file" is
| |
| any object
| |
| | |
| explain that a object type can never be a scontext ( source context ) in a avc denail
| |
| | |
| explain that processes (subjects) generally operate on files (objects)
| |
| | |
| explain that processes (subjects) also operate on other processes (subjects) example: process ( sigchld ) if a user
| |
| processes spawns a program process.
| |
| | |
| explain that "files" ( objects ) do not operate. they get operated on by subjects ( processes )
| |
| | |
| explain permissions that define how to operate on subjects and objects ( classes ) are defined in the kernel and are attributes of classes
| |
| | |
| explain classes and their attributes are static defined in kernel:
| |
| | |
| - example of a file object class and its attributes:
| |
| | |
| + file read
| |
| | |
| + dir write
| |
| | |
| + lnk_file getattr
| |
| | |
| - example of a subject class and its attributes:
| |
| | |
| + process sigchld
| |
| | |
| - example of a object available by other programs ACL
| |
| | |
| + dbus send_msg
| |
| | |
| explain that although classes and their attributes are defined in the kernel, that one can assign "types" to
| |
| subjects and objects, and that one can define policy for these types can interact using the object classes
| |
| and their attributes supplied by the kernel.
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| example:
| |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| scontext/domain type/subject | tcontext/file type/object | "object" class | "object" permissions/attributes

| dependencies and selinux-policy by domg472:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| SELinux policy and dependencies. | |
| | |
| A policy module has 3 files. Here is the explaination of the 3 files.
| |
| | |
| mydomain.te (.te) (type enforcement file) it has PRIVATE policy for the "mydomain" policy module.
| |
| | |
| mydomain.if (.if) (interface file) it has PUBLIC policy for the "mydomain" policy module.
| |
| | |
| mydomain.fc (.fc) (file context file) it has file contexts for the "mydomain" policy module.
| |
| | |
| The type enforcement file.
| |
| | |
| This file has private policy. Policy that is, in my example, related to "mydomain"
| |
| | |
| for example, you might find a rule like this in the mydomain.te file:
| |
| apache_read_user_content(mydomain_t)
| |
| | |
| This policy was provided by apache.if to "mydomain". You can look it up in the apache.if file.
| |
| It is really a template or interface with rules for how to read apaches user content.
| |
| We are using (instantiating) that interface that apache policy module provides in it's
| |
| apache.if file, in our mydomain.te file.
| |
| | |
| Let us refer to interfaces and templates as blocks of public policy. Public policy blocks
| |
| should be prefixed by the policy module name of the domain that facilitates it in it's .if (interface file).
| |
| | |
| for example, just by looking at the following interface call in mydomain.te i know:
| |
| 1. which module provided the interface 2. where to roughly find it. 3. where to find what
| |
| policy te interface provides. 4. which domain instantiates the block of public policy:
| |
| | |
| alsa_read_rw_config(mydomain_t)
| |
| | |
| 1. provided by the alsa policy module.
| |
| 2. can be found in alsa.if
| |
| 3. Summary: Read alsa writable config files
| |
| | |
| allow $1 alsa_etc_rw_t:dir list_dir_perms;
| |
| read_files_pattern($1,alsa_etc_rw_t,alsa_etc_rw_t)
| |
| read_lnk_files_pattern($1,alsa_etc_rw_t,alsa_etc_rw_t)
| |
| | |
| 4. this policy is instantiated by mydomain_t domain.
| |
| | |
| So you can easily from looking at a .te file know the modules dependencies by
| |
| parsing each called interface prefix. as each called interface is prefixed by the domain
| |
| that made it available in its interface file.
| |
| | |
| important note regarding public policy.
| |
| | |
| creating a quick policy module package(.pp) can be very handy for implementing
| |
| quick policy. but it is also limited.
| |
| | |
| to compile policy one need selinux-devel. it has development files for each module that
| |
| is used by the compiler to see if the policy that we want to compile is valid.
| |
| | |
| when you compile and install a seperate policy package with semodule -i mydomain.pp for example.
| |
| there will not be a devel package installed.
| |
| | |
| interfaces files are therefore rendered useless for seperate policy module packages. for the
| |
| reason that other modules will not be able too instantiate any public policy for that module.
| |
| | |
| the reason is that when you try to compile your module that has a call to a public policy block
| |
| of a module that was installed with semodule, the compiler will nnot find that interface/ template
| |
| in its devel files because non were installed!
| |
| | |
| This is important to know!
| |
| do you want to develop and implement much policy, then do not use policy module packages with
| |
| semodule but instead integrate your module into the selinux-policy source provided upstream,
| |
| rebuild it and reinstall it.
| |
| | |
| by rebuilding selinux-policy, a new selinux-policy-devel package is created. this selinux-policy-devel
| |
| package DOES include the public policy for the domain that you integrated and thus is usable as
| |
| opposed to using a .pp with semodule.
