SELinux can be disabled at boot time by disabling it via a kernel argument. Remove any instances of selinux=0 from the kernel arguments in that file to prevent SELinux from being disabled at boot.
Disabling a major host protection feature, such as SELinux, at boot time prevents it from confining system services at boot time. Further, it increases the chances that it will remain off during system operation.
To properly set the owner of /etc/selinux, run the command:
$ sudo chown root /etc/selinux
The ownership of the /etc/selinux directory by the root user is important because this directory hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this directory is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
To properly set the group owner of /etc/selinux, run the command:
$ sudo chgrp root /etc/selinux
The ownership of the /etc/selinux directory by the root group is important because this directory hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this directory is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
To properly set the permissions of /etc/selinux, run the command:
$ sudo chmod 0755 /etc/selinux
Setting correct permissions on the /etc/selinux directory is important because this directory hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this directory is critical for system security. Restricting the permissions ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
SELinux can be disabled at boot time by an argument in /etc/default/grub. Remove any instances of selinux=0 from the kernel arguments in that file to prevent SELinux from being disabled at boot.
Disabling a major host protection feature, such as SELinux, at boot time prevents it from confining system services at boot time. Further, it increases the chances that it will remain off during system operation.
To properly set the group owner of /etc/sestatus.conf, run the command:
$ sudo chgrp root /etc/sestatus.conf
The ownership of the /etc/sestatus.conf file by the root group is important because this file hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
To properly set the owner of /etc/sestatus.conf, run the command:
$ sudo chown root /etc/sestatus.conf
The ownership of the /etc/sestatus.conf file by the root user is important because this file hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Assigning the ownership to root ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
To properly set the permissions of /etc/sestatus.conf, run the command:
$ sudo chmod 0644 /etc/sestatus.conf
Setting correct permissions on the /etc/sestatus.conf file is important because this file hosts SELinux configuration. Protection of this file is critical for system security. Restricting the permissions ensures exclusive control of the SELinux configuration.
The libselinux package can be installed with the following command:

These utilities include load_policy to load SELinux policies, setfiles to label filesystems, newrole to switch roles, and so on.

To disable the zoneminder_run_sudo SELinux boolean, run the following command:
$ sudo setsebool -P zoneminder_run_sudo off
Device files, which are used for communication with important system
resources, should be labeled with proper SELinux types. If any device files
carry the SELinux type device_t or unlabeled_t, report the
bug so that policy can be corrected. Supply information about what the
device is and what programs use it.
To check for incorrectly labeled device files, run following commands:
$ sudo find /dev -context *:device_t:* \( -type c -o -type b \) -printf "%p %Z\n"
$ sudo find /dev -context *:unlabeled_t:* \( -type c -o -type b \) -printf "%p %Z\n"It should produce no output in a well-configured system.
If a device file carries the SELinux type device_t or unlabeled_t, then SELinux cannot properly restrict access to the device file.
Configure the operating system to confine SELinux users to roles that conform to least privilege. Use the following command to map the "staff_u" SELinux user to the "staff_r" and "sysadm_r" roles:
$ sudo semanage user -m staff_u -R staff_r -R sysadm_r
$ sudo semanage -m user_u -R user_r
Preventing non-privileged users from executing privileged functions mitigates
the risk that unauthorized individuals or processes may gain unnecessary access
to information or privileges.
Privileged functions include, for example,
establishing accounts, performing system integrity checks, or administering
cryptographic key management activities. Non-privileged users are individuals
who do not possess appropriate authorizations. Circumventing intrusion detection
and prevention mechanisms or malicious code protection mechanisms are examples
of privileged functions that require protection from non-privileged users.
Daemons for which the SELinux policy does not contain rules will inherit the
context of the parent process. Because daemons are launched during
startup and descend from the init process, they inherit the unconfined_service_t context.
To check for unconfined daemons, run the following command:
$ sudo ps -eZ | grep "unconfined_service_t"It should produce no output in a well-configured system.
Daemons which run with the unconfined_service_t context may cause AVC denials, or allow privileges that the daemon does not require.
Configure the operating system to elevate the SELinux context when an administrator calls the sudo command. Edit a file in the /etc/sudoers.d directory with the following command:
sudo visudo -f /etc/sudoers.d/CUSTOM_FILEUse the following example to build the CUSTOM_FILE in the /etc/sudoers.d directory to allow any administrator belonging to a designated sudoers admin group to elevate their SELinux context with the use of the sudo command:
%wheel ALL=(ALL) TYPE=sysadm_t ROLE=sysadm_r ALL

The SELinux state should be set to enforcing or permissive at system boot time. In the file /etc/selinux/config, add or correct the following line to configure the system to boot into enforcing or permissive mode:
SELINUX=enforcingOR
SELINUX=permissive
Running SELinux in disabled mode is strongly discouraged. It prevents enforcing the SELinux controls without a system reboot. It also avoids labeling any persistent objects such as files, making it difficult to enable SELinux in the future.
The SELinux targeted policy is appropriate for general-purpose desktops and servers, as well as systems in many other roles. To configure the system to use this policy, add or correct the following line in /etc/selinux/config:
SELINUXTYPE=$var_selinux_policy_nameOther policies, such as mls, provide additional security labeling and greater confinement but are not compatible with many general-purpose use cases.
Setting the SELinux policy to targeted or a more specialized policy
ensures the system will confine processes that are likely to be
targeted for exploitation, such as network or system services.
Note: During the development or debugging of SELinux modules, it is common to
temporarily place non-production systems in permissive mode. In such
temporary cases, SELinux policies should be developed, and once work
is completed, the system should be reconfigured to
$var_selinux_policy_name.
The SELinux state should be set to $var_selinux_state at system boot time. In the file /etc/selinux/config, add or correct the following line to configure the system to boot into enforcing mode:
SELINUX=$var_selinux_state
Setting the SELinux state to enforcing ensures SELinux is able to confine potentially compromised processes to the security policy, which is designed to prevent them from causing damage to the system or further elevating their privileges.
Configure the operating system to prevent non-privileged users from executing privileged functions to include disabling, circumventing, or altering implemented security safeguards/countermeasures. All administrators must be mapped to the sysadm_u or staff_u users with the appropriate domains (sysadm_t and staff_t).
$ sudo semanage login -m -s sysadm_u USERor
$ sudo semanage login -m -s staff_u USER
$ sudo semanage login -m -s user_u USER
