clamscan_selinux(8) clamscan SELinux Policy documentation clamscan_selinux(8)NAMEclamscan_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the clamscan pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the clamscan processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. clam‐
scan policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run clamscan with the tightest access
possible.
If you want to allow clamscan to read user conten, you must turn on the
clamscan_read_user_content boolean.
setsebool -P clamscan_read_user_content 1
If you want to allow clamscan to non security files on a syste, you
must turn on the clamscan_can_scan_system boolean.
setsebool -P clamscan_can_scan_system 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 clamscan policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
clamscan processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for clamscan:
clamscan_exec_t
- Set files with the clamscan_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the clamscan_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/bin/clamdscan, /usr/bin/clamscan
clamscan_tmp_t
- Set files with the clamscan_tmp_t type, if you want to store clamscan
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
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
clamscan policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their clamscan
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for clamscan:
clamscan_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.
