NAME

jabberd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the jabberd processes

DESCRIPTION

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

The jabberd processes execute with the jabberd_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 jabberd_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The jabberd_t SELinux type can be entered via the jabberd_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/sm, /usr/bin/s2s

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

The following process types are defined for jabberd:

jabberd_t, jabberd_router_t

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

BOOLEANS

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

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

PORT TYPES

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

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

The following port types are defined for jabberd:

jabber_client_port_t

Default Defined Ports: tcp 5222,5223

jabber_interserver_port_t

Default Defined Ports: tcp 5269,5280

jabber_router_port_t

Default Defined Ports: tcp 5347

MANAGED FILES

The SELinux process type jabberd_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.

cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

cluster_var_lib_t

        /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?

       /var/lib/cluster(/.*)?

       /var/lib/openais(/.*)?

       /var/lib/pengine(/.*)?

       /var/lib/corosync(/.*)?

       /usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?

       /var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?

       /var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

cluster_var_run_t

        /var/run/crm(/.*)?

       /var/run/cman_.*

       /var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?

       /var/run/aisexec.*

       /var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?

       /var/run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?

       /var/run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?

       /var/run/corosync.pid

       /var/run/cpglockd.pid

       /var/run/rgmanager.pid

       /var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

jabberd_var_lib_t

/var/lib/jabberd(/.*)?

root_t

        /sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?

       /

       /initrd

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

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the jabberd, 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.

semanage fcontext -a -t jabberd_var_lib_t '/srv/myjabberd_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myjabberd_content

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

The following file types are defined for jabberd:

jabberd_exec_t

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

Paths:: /usr/bin/sm, /usr/bin/s2s

jabberd_initrc_exec_t

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

jabberd_router_exec_t

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

Paths:: /usr/bin/c2s, /usr/bin/router

jabberd_var_lib_t

- Set files with the jabberd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the jabberd files under the /var/lib 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.

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 policy modules.

semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
