Vit Mojzis 7506771e4b python/sepolicy: add missing booleans to man pages
get_bools should return a list of booleans that can affect given type,
but it did not handle non trivial conditional statements properly
(returning the whole conditional statement instead of a list of booleans
in the statement).

e.g. for
allow httpd_t spamc_t:process transition; [ httpd_can_check_spam && httpd_can_sendmail ]:True
get_bools used to return [("httpd_can_check_spam && httpd_can_sendmail", False)] instead of
[("httpd_can_check_spam", False), ("httpd_can_sendmail", False)]

- rename "boolean" in sepolicy rule dictionary to "booleans" to suggest
  it can contain multiple values and make sure it is populated correctly
- add "conditional" key to the rule dictionary to accommodate
  get_conditionals, which requires the whole conditional statement
- extend get_bools search to dontaudit rules so that it covers booleans
  like httpd_dontaudit_search_dirs

Note: get_bools uses security_get_boolean_active to get the boolean
      value, but the value is later used to represent the default.
      Not ideal, but I'm not aware of a way to get the actual defaults.

Fixes:
        "sepolicy manpage" generates man pages that are missing booleans
        which are included in non trivial conditional expressions
        e.g. httpd_selinux(8) does not include httpd_can_check_spam,
        httpd_tmp_exec, httpd_unified, or httpd_use_gpg

        This fix, however, also adds some not strictly related booleans
        to some man pages. e.g. use_nfs_home_dirs and
        use_samba_home_dirs are added to httpd_selinux(8)

SELinux Userspace

SELinux logo Run Tests Run SELinux testsuite in a virtual machine OSS-Fuzz Status CIFuzz Status

SELinux is a flexible Mandatory Access Control (MAC) system built into the Linux Kernel. SELinux provides administrators with a comprehensive access control mechanism that enables greater access granularity over the existing Linux Discretionary Access Controls (DAC) and is present in many major Linux distributions. This repository contains the sources for the SELinux utilities and system libraries which allow for the configuration and management of an SELinux-based system.

Please submit all bug reports and patches to the selinux@vger.kernel.org mailing list. You can subscribe by sending "subscribe selinux" in the body of an email to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. Archives of the mailing list are available at https://lore.kernel.org/selinux.

Installation

SELinux libraries and tools are packaged in several Linux distributions:

Building and testing

Build dependencies on Fedora:

# For C libraries and programs
dnf install \
    audit-libs-devel \
    bison \
    bzip2-devel \
    CUnit-devel \
    diffutils \
    flex \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    glib2-devel \
    make \
    libcap-devel \
    libcap-ng-devel \
    pam-devel \
    pcre2-devel \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
dnf install \
    python3-devel \
    python3-pip \
    python3-setuptools \
    python3-wheel \
    ruby-devel \
    swig

Build dependencies on Debian:

# For C libraries and programs
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    bison \
    flex \
    gawk \
    gcc \
    gettext \
    make \
    libaudit-dev \
    libbz2-dev \
    libcap-dev \
    libcap-ng-dev \
    libcunit1-dev \
    libglib2.0-dev \
    libpcre2-dev \
    pkgconf \
    python3 \
    systemd \
    xmlto

# For Python and Ruby bindings
apt-get install --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests \
    python3-dev \
    python3-pip \
    python3-setuptools \
    python3-wheel \
    ruby-dev \
    swig

To build and install everything under a private directory, run:

make clean distclean

make DESTDIR=~/obj install install-rubywrap install-pywrap

On Debian PYTHON_SETUP_ARGS='--install-option "--install-layout=deb"' needs to be set when installing the python wrappers in order to create the correct python directory structure.

To run tests with the built libraries and programs, several paths (relative to $DESTDIR) need to be added to variables $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, $PATH and $PYTHONPATH. This can be done using ./scripts/env_use_destdir:

DESTDIR=~/obj ./scripts/env_use_destdir make test

Some tests require the reference policy to be installed (for example in python/sepolgen). In order to run these ones, instructions similar to the ones in section install of ./.travis.yml can be executed.

To install as the default system libraries and binaries (overwriting any previously installed ones - dangerous!), on x86_64, run:

make LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 SHLIBDIR=/lib64 install install-pywrap relabel

or on x86 (32-bit), run:

make install install-pywrap relabel

This may render your system unusable if the upstream SELinux userspace lacks library functions or other dependencies relied upon by your distribution. If it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Setting CFLAGS

Setting CFLAGS during the make process will cause the omission of many defaults. While the project strives to provide a reasonable set of default flags, custom CFLAGS could break the build, or have other undesired changes on the build output. Thus, be very careful when setting CFLAGS. CFLAGS that are encouraged to be set when overriding are:

  • -fno-semantic-interposition for gcc or compilers that do not do this. clang does this by default. clang-10 and up will support passing this flag, but ignore it. Previous clang versions fail.

macOS

To install libsepol on macOS (mainly for policy analysis):

cd libsepol; make PREFIX=/usr/local install

This requires GNU coreutils:

brew install coreutils
