SELinux Cookbook

The SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) cookbook provides recipes for manipulating SELinux policy enforcement state.

SELinux can have one of 3 settings

Enforcing
- Watches all system access checks, stops all 'Denied access'
- Default mode on RHEL systems
Permissive
- Allows access but reports violations
Disabled
- Disables SELinux from the system but is only read at boot time. If you set this flag, you must reboot.

Disable SELinux only if you plan to not use it. Use Permissive mode if you just need to debug your system.

Requirements

Chef 12.5 or higher

Platform:

The following platforms have been tested with Test Kitchen:

centos-6
centos-7

On debian and ubuntu systems if you want to enable SELinux you will need to do a few extra steps. As these are potentially destructive, rather than adding them to this cookbook adding this information here:

selinux-activate - Running selinux-activate will add parameters to the kernel, update grub configuration files, and set the file system to relabel upon reboot
reboot for settings to take effect.

Usage

Attributes

node['selinux']['booleans'] - A hash of SELinux boolean names and the values they should be set to. Values can be off, false, or 0 to disable; or on, true, or 1 to enable.

Resources Overview

selinux_state

The selinux_state resource is used to manage the SELinux state on the
system. It does this by using the setenforce command and rendering
the /etc/selinux/config file from a template.

Actions

:nothing - default action, does nothing
:enforcing - Sets SELinux to enforcing.
:disabled - Sets SELinux to disabled.
:permissive - Sets SELinux to permissive.

Attributes

temporary - true, false, default false. Allows the temporary change between permisive and enabled states which don't require a reboot.
selinuxtype - targeted, mls, default targeted. Determines the policy that will be configured in the /etc/selinux/config file. The default value is targeted which enables selinux in a mode where only selected processes are protected. mls is multilevel security which enables selinux in a mode where all processes are protected. #### Examples

Simply set SELinux to enforcing or permissive:

selinux_state "SELinux Enforcing" do
  action :enforcing
end

selinux_state "SELinux Permissive" do
  action :permissive
end

The action here is based on the value of the
node['selinux']['state'] attribute, which we convert to lower-case
and make a symbol to pass to the action.

selinux_state "SELinux #{node['selinux']['state'].capitalize}" do
  action node['selinux']['state'].downcase.to_sym
end

selinux_install

The selinux_install resource is used to encapsulate the set of selinux packages to install in order to manage selinux. It also ensures the directory /etc/selinux is created.

Recipes

All recipes will deprecate in the near future as they are just using the selinux_state resource.

default

The default recipe will use the attribute node['selinux']['state']
in the selinux_state LWRP's action. By default, this will be :enforcing.

enforcing

This recipe will use :enforcing as the selinux_state action.

permissive

This recipe will use :permissive as the selinux_state action.

disabled

This recipe will use :disabled as the selinux_state action.

Usage

By default, this cookbook will have SELinux enforcing by default, as
the default recipe uses the node['selinux']['state'] attribute,
which is "enforcing." This is in line with the policy of enforcing by
default on RHEL family distributions.

You can simply set the attribute in a role applied to the node:

name "base"
description "Base role applied to all nodes."
default_attributes(
  "selinux" => {
    "state" => "permissive"
  }
)

Or, you can apply the recipe to the run list (e.g., in a role):

name "base"
description "Base role applied to all nodes."
run_list(
  "recipe[selinux::permissive]",
)

Fix logic error in the permissive state change

1.0.0 (2017-02-26)

Update to current cookbook engineering standards
Removed property state of resource selinux_state as state overwrites an existing method. Chef 13 exception fix.
Rewrite LWRP to 12.5 resources
Resolved cookstyle errors
Update package information for debian based on https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.selinux.html
- selinux-activate looks like it's required to ACTUALLY activate selinux on non-RHEL systems. This seems like it could be destructive if unexpected.
Add property temporary to allow for switching between permissive and enabled
Add install resource
