[refpolicy] [PATCH 0/5] Adding support for dracut

[refpolicy] [PATCH 0/5] Adding support for dracut

[Sven Vermeulen]

While trying to get a SELinux-supporting initramfs booted up (in enforcing
mode, without unconfined domains) my current attempts are at dracut. But
dracut itself didn't work quite well on such a system as running it in
sysadm_t domain fails (some domain transitions occur which are then asked to
write files in user_tmp_t which isn't allowed for those domains).

Instead of patching those domains (ldconfig_t and depmod_t) to allow writing
& creating files in user_tmp_t (i.e. manage privileges) I drafted up a
dracut domain (dracut_t) and grant those domains manage access to
dracut_tmp_t.

To support dracut, a few changes were necessary to the policy as well
(additional interfaces).

The summary:
- Add read interface for udev rules (udev_read_rules_files)
- List module configuration option files (modutils_list_module_config)
- Add in the dracut_t policy
- Grant ldconfig_t and depmod_t the dracut_manage_tmp_files privilege
- Allow sysadm_t to run/transition to dracut_t

[refpolicy] [PATCH 1/5] Add read interface for udev rules

[Sven Vermeulen]

Applications, such as dracut or other initramfs creators, need read access to udev rules to see if they need to pull in
additional requirements for the initramfs or not. This adds in the udev_read_rules_files() interface for this purpose.

[refpolicy] [PATCH 2/5] Support listing module configuration files

[Sven Vermeulen]

Dracut, an application that creates an initramfs based on the systems' requirements, needs to list the module configuration
files to function. This adds in this interface for this purpose.

[refpolicy] [PATCH 3/5] Adding dracut policy

[Sven Vermeulen]

Running dracut out of the sysadm_t domain doesn't (fully) work on a policy without unconfined domains. The calls to depmod,
whose output is then directed to a tmp location, is denied through this. Instead of granting depmod (and other tools)
"manage" access to user_tmp_t, we create a separate domain for dracut (called dracut_t) and grant these tools management
access to dracut_tmp_t.

This adds in the dracut policy

[refpolicy] [PATCH 4/5] Grant dracut_manage_tmp_files to domains called by dracut

[Sven Vermeulen]

The dracut application calls, amongst other applications, ldconfig and depmod and gets them to write information in a
temporary location created by dracut. This allows those domains manage access to these locations.

Write privileges alone were not sufficient as new files were created as well.

Looks like I was a bit too overzealous here, many of the _domtrans can
actually be changed to _exec calls. They are never really executed, but used
by ldd (which does mean the files are somewhat executed, hence the reports)
to find out which libraries need to be pulled in as well.

I'll draft up a new patch "batch" soon when I've cleaned those out.

Wkr,
