<h2>NAME
<a name="NAME"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">container_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the container
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the container processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The container
processes execute with the container_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 container_t</b></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
container policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their container processes in as secure a method as
possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for container:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>container_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a container_t</b> can be used to
make the process type container_t permissive. SELinux does
not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC
(SELinux denials) messages are still generated.</p>
<h2>MCS Constrained
<a name="MCS Constrained"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type container_t is an MCS (Multi Category Security)
constrained type. Sometimes this separation is referred to
as sVirt. These types are usually used for securing
multi-tenant environments, such as virtualization,
containers or separation of users. The tools used to launch
MCS types, pick out a different MCS label for each process
group.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For example one
process might be launched with container_t:s0:c1,c2, and
another process launched with container_t:s0:c3,c4. The
SELinux kernel only allows these processes can only write to
content with a matching MCS label, or a MCS Label of s0. A
process running with the MCS level of s0:c1,c2 is not
allowed to write to content with the MCS label of
s0:c3,c4</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. container
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run container with
the tightest access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean.
Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
deny_ptrace 1</b></p>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type container_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>container_file_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/var/lib/rkt/cas(/.*)?</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>fs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>fusefs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/var/run/user/[0-9]+/gvfs</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>hugetlbfs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/dev/hugepages
<br>
/usr/lib/udev/devices/hugepages</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>onload_fs_t</b></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
container policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their container 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 container, 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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext -a -t container_ro_file_t
’/srv/mycontainer_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/mycontainer_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 container:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>container_file_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the container_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as container content.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>container_ro_file_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the container_ro_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as container ro content.</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
module</b> can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove
policy modules.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
boolean</b> can also be used to manipulate the booleans</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>system-config-selinux</b>
is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy
settings.</p>
