NAME
       dmidecode_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the dmidecode
       processes

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

       The  dmidecode processes execute with the dmidecode_t SELinux type. You
       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
       mand with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep dmidecode_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The  dmidecode_t	 SELinux  type can be entered via the dmidecode_exec_t
       file type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the dmidecode_t domain are the follow‐
       ing:

       /usr/sbin/dmidecode,	 /usr/sbin/ownership,	  /usr/sbin/vpddecode,
       /usr/sbin/biosdecode

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
       dmidecode policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their	dmide‐
       code processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for dmidecode:

       dmidecode_t

       Note:  semanage	permissive  -a	dmidecode_t  can  be  used to make the
       process type dmidecode_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.	dmide‐
       code  policy  is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run dmidecode with the tightest access
       possible.

       If  you	want  to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
       processes, you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace	 boolean.  Enabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load	 modules,  you
       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules	boolean.  Disabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       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

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

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 ls

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the dmidecode, 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 dmidecode_exec_t '/srv/dmidecode/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mydmidecode_content

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

       The following file types are defined for dmidecode:

       dmidecode_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /usr/sbin/dmidecode,   /usr/sbin/ownership,	  /usr/sbin/vpddecode,
	    /usr/sbin/biosdecode

       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 data‐
       base.  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  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.
