cdrecord_selinux(8) cdrecord SELinux Policy documentation cdrecord_selinux(8)NAMEcdrecord_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cdrecord pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cdrecord processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
cdrecord policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run cdrecord with the tightest
access possible.
If you want to allow cdrecord to read various content. nfs, samba,
removable devices, user temp and untrusted content file, you must turn
on the cdrecord_read_content boolean.
setsebool -P cdrecord_read_content 1
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 cdrecord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
cdrecord processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for cdrecord:
cdrecord_exec_t
- Set files with the cdrecord_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the cdrecord_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/bin/cdrecord, /usr/bin/wodim, /usr/bin/growisofs
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
cdrecord policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cdrecord
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for cdrecord:
cdrecord_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.
