Add new per-packet access controls to SELinux, replacing the old packet controls. Packets are labeled with the iptables SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, then security policy for the packets is enforced with these controls. To allow for a smooth transition to the new controls, the old code is still present, but not active by default. To restore previous behavior, the old controls may be activated at runtime by writing a '1' to /selinux/compat_net, and also via the kernel boot parameter selinux_compat_net. Switching between the network control models requires the security load_policy permission. The old controls will probably eventually be removed and any continued use is discouraged. With this patch, the new secmark controls for SElinux are disabled by default, so existing behavior is entirely preserved, and the user is not affected at all. It also provides a config option to enable the secmark controls by default (which can always be overridden at boot and runtime). It is also noted in the kconfig help that the user will need updated userspace if enabling secmark controls for SELinux and that they'll probably need the SECMARK and CONNMARK targets, and conntrack protocol helpers, although such decisions are beyond the scope of kernel configuration.

This selects NSA Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux).
|
|
You will also need a policy configuration and a labeled filesystem.
|

You can obtain the policy compiler (checkpolicy), the utility for
|
|
labeling filesystems (setfiles), and an example policy configuration
|
|
from <http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/>.

This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
|
|
to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
|
|
functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
|
|
command line. The purpose of this option is to allow a single
|
|
kernel image to be distributed with SELinux built in, but not
|
|
necessarily enabled.

This option sets the default value for the kernel parameter

'selinux', which allows SELinux to be disabled at boot. If this

option is set to 0 (zero), the SELinux kernel parameter will
|

default to 0, disabling SELinux at bootup. If this option is
|

set to 1 (one), the SELinux kernel parameter will default to 1,

This option enables writing to a selinuxfs node 'disable', which
|
|
allows SELinux to be disabled at runtime prior to the policy load.
|
|
SELinux will then remain disabled until the next boot.
|
|
This option is similar to the selinux=0 boot parameter, but is to
|
|
support runtime disabling of SELinux, e.g. from /sbin/init, for
|
|
portability across platforms where boot parameters are difficult
|
|
to employ.

This enables the development support option of NSA SELinux,
|
|
which is useful for experimenting with SELinux and developing
|
|
policies. If unsure, say Y. With this option enabled, the
|
|
kernel will start in permissive mode (log everything, deny nothing)
|
|
unless you specify enforcing=1 on the kernel command line. You
|
|
can interactively toggle the kernel between enforcing mode and
|
|
permissive mode (if permitted by the policy) via /selinux/enforce.

help
|
|
This option sets the default value for the 'checkreqprot' flag
|
|
that determines whether SELinux checks the protection requested
|
|
by the application or the protection that will be applied by the
|
|
kernel (including any implied execute for read-implies-exec) for
|
|
mmap and mprotect calls. If this option is set to 0 (zero),
|
|
SELinux will default to checking the protection that will be applied
|
|
by the kernel. If this option is set to 1 (one), SELinux will
|
|
default to checking the protection requested by the application.
|
|
The checkreqprot flag may be changed from the default via the
|
|
'checkreqprot=' boot parameter. It may also be changed at runtime
|
|
via /selinux/checkreqprot if authorized by policy.

config SECURITY_SELINUX_ENABLE_SECMARK_DEFAULT

bool "NSA SELinux enable new secmark network controls by default"

|
depends on SECURITY_SELINUX
|
|
default n
|
|
help
|
|
This option determines whether the new secmark-based network
|
|
controls will be enabled by default. If not, the old internal
|
|
per-packet controls will be enabled by default, preserving
|
|
old behavior.
|
|
|
|
If you enable the new controls, you will need updated
|
|
SELinux userspace libraries, tools and policy. Typically,
|
|
your distribution will provide these and enable the new controls
|
|
in the kernel they also distribute.
|
|
|
|
Note that this option can be overriden at boot with the
|
|
selinux_compat_net parameter, and after boot via
|
|
/selinux/compat_net. See Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
|
|
for details on this parameter.
|
|
|
|
If you enable the new network controls, you will likely
|
|
also require the SECMARK and CONNSECMARK targets, as
|
|
well as any conntrack helpers for protocols which you
|
|
wish to control.
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure what do do here, select N.
