<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">mount_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mount
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the mount processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The mount
processes execute with the mount_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 mount_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The mount_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>mount_exec_t,
fusermount_exec_t</b> file types.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the mount_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/bin/mount.*,
/bin/umount.*, /sbin/mount.*, /sbin/umount.*,
/usr/bin/mount.*, /usr/bin/umount.*, /usr/sbin/mount.*,
/usr/sbin/umount.*, /bin/fusermount[0-9]?,
/usr/bin/fusermount[0-9]?</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 mount
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mount
processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for mount:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_t,
mount_ecryptfs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a mount_t</b> can be used to make
the process type mount_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux
denials) messages are still generated.</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. mount policy
is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run mount with the tightest
access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the
executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on
the deny_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
deny_execmem 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
control the ability to mmap a low area of the address space,
as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn
on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
mmap_low_allowed 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nis_enabled 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
secure_mode_insmod boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
secure_mode_insmod 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably
indicates a badly coded executable, but could indicate an
attack. This executable should be reported in bugzilla, you
must turn on the selinuxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
selinuxuser_execheap 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow unconfined executables to make their stack executable.
This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This
executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on
the selinuxuser_execstack boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
selinuxuser_execstack 1</b></p>
<h2>PORT TYPES
<a name="PORT TYPES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
types associated with a port by using the following
command:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
port -l</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to these ports. SELinux
mount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
mount processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
port types are defined for mount: <b><br>
mountd_port_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Default Defined
Ports:</p>
<p style="margin-left:26%;">tcp 20048 <br>
udp 20048</p>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type mount_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>file_type</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">all files on
the system</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
mount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
mount 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 mount, 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 mount_ecryptfs_tmpfs_t
’/srv/mymount_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/mymount_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 mount:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_ecryptfs_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_ecryptfs_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the mount_ecryptfs_t domain.
<br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/usr/sbin/mount.ecryptfs,
/usr/sbin/umount.ecryptfs, /usr/sbin/mount.ecryptfs_private,
/usr/sbin/umount.ecryptfs_private</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_ecryptfs_tmpfs_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_ecryptfs_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store
mount ecryptfs files on a tmpfs file system.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the mount_t domain. <br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/bin/mount.*, /bin/umount.*,
/sbin/mount.*, /sbin/umount.*, /usr/bin/mount.*,
/usr/bin/umount.*, /usr/sbin/mount.*, /usr/sbin/umount.*</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_loopback_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_loopback_t type, if you want to treat the
files as mount loopback data.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_tmp_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_tmp_t type, if you want to store mount
temporary files in the /tmp directories.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>mount_var_run_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the mount_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
mount files under the /run or /var/run directory. <br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/run/mount(/.*)?,
/dev/.mount(/.*)?, /var/run/mount(/.*)?,
/var/run/davfs2(/.*)?, /var/cache/davfs2(/.*)?</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
