Introduction</h2></div></div></div><div class="para"> Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) refers to files, such as directories and devices, as objects. Processes, such as a user running a command or the <span class="trademark">Mozilla</span>®<span class="trademark"> Firefox</span>® application, are referred to as subjects. Most operating systems use a Discretionary Access Control (DAC) system that controls how subjects interact with objects, and how subjects interact with each other. On operating systems using DAC, users control the permissions of files (objects) that they own. For example, on <span class="trademark">Linux</span>® operating systems, users could make their home directories world-readable, inadvertently giving users and processes (subjects) access to potentially sensitive information. </div><div class="para"> DAC mechanisms are fundamentally inadequate for strong system security. DAC access decisions are only based on user identity and ownership, ignoring other security-relevant information such as the role of the user, the function and trustworthiness of the program, and the sensitivity and integrity of the data. Each user has complete discretion over their files, making it impossible to enforce a system-wide security policy. Furthermore, every program run by a user inherits all of the permissions granted to the user and is free to change access to the user's files, so no protection is provided against malicious software. Many system services and privileged programs must run with coarse-grained privileges that far exceed their requirements, so that a flaw in any one of these programs can be exploited to obtain complete system access.<sup>[<a id="id2915685" href="#ftn.id2915685" class="footnote">1</a>]</sup> </div><div class="para"> The following is an example of permissions used on Linux operating systems that do not run Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux). The permissions in these examples may differ from your system. Use the <code class="command">ls -l</code> command to view file permissions: </div><pre class="screen"> $ ls -l file1 -rwxrw-r-- 1 user1 group1 0 2009-03-16 14:07 file1 </pre><div class="para"> The first three permission bits, <code class="computeroutput">rwx</code>, control the access the Linux <code class="computeroutput">user1</code> user (in this case, the owner) has to <code class="filename">file1</code>.

A general purpose MAC architecture needs the ability to enforce an administratively-set security policy over all processes and files in the system, basing decisions on labels containing a variety of security-relevant information. When properly implemented, it enables a system to adequately defend itself and offers critical support for application security by protecting against the tampering with, and bypassing of, secured applications. MAC provides strong separation of applications that permits the safe execution of untrustworthy applications. Its ability to limit the privileges associated with executing processes limits the scope of potential damage that can result from the exploitation of vulnerabilities in applications and system services. MAC enables information to be protected from legitimate users with limited authorization as well as from au thorized users who have unwittingly executed malicious applications.<sup>[<a id="id2892523" href="#ftn.id2892523" class="footnote">2</a>]</sup> </div><div class="para"> The following is an example of the labels containing security-relevant information that are used on processes, Linux users, and files, on Linux operating systems that run SELinux.

This can be achieved via Booleans that allow parts of SELinux policy to be changed at runtime, without any knowledge of SELinux policy writing. This allows changes, such as allowing services access to NFS file systems, without reloading or recompiling SELinux policy. Boolean configuration is discussed later. </div><div class="para"> Other changes, such as using non-default directories to store files for services, and changing services to run on non-default port numbers, require policy configuration to be updated via tools such as <code class="command">semanage</code>.

Typographic Conventions</h3></div></div></div><div class="para"> Four typographic conventions are used to call attention to specific words and phrases. These conventions, and the circumstances they apply to, are as follows. </div><div class="para"> <code class="literal">Mono-spaced Bold</code> </div><div class="para"> Used to highlight system input, including shell commands, file names and paths. Also used to highlight key caps and key-combinations. For example: </div><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><div class="para"> To see the contents of the file <code class="filename">my_next_bestselling_novel</code> in your current working directory, enter the <code class="command">cat my_next_bestselling_novel</code> command at the shell prompt and press <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span> to execute the command. </div></blockquote></div><div class="para"> The above includes a file name, a shell command and a key cap, all presented in Mono-spaced Bold and all distinguishable thanks to context. </div><div class="para"> Key-combinations can be distinguished from key caps by the hyphen connecting each part of a key-combination. For example: </div><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><div class="para"> Press <span class="keycap"><strong>Enter</strong></span> to execute the command. </div><div class="para"> Press <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>F1</strong></span> to switch to the first virtual terminal. Press <span class="keycap"><strong>Ctrl</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>Alt</strong></span>+<span class="keycap"><strong>F7</strong></span> to return to your X-Windows session. </div></blockquote></div><div class="para"> The first sentence highlights the particular key cap to press. The second highlights two sets of three key caps, each set pressed simultaneously. </div><div class="para"> If source code is discussed, class names, methods, functions, variable names and returned values mentioned within a paragraph will be presented as above, in <code class="literal">Mono-spaced Bold</code>. For example: </div><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><div class="para"> File-related classes include <code class="classname">filesystem</code> for file systems, <code class="classname">file</code> for files, and <code class="classname">dir</code> for directories. Each class has its own associated set of permissions. </div></blockquote></div><div class="para"> <span class="application"><strong>Proportional Bold</strong></span> </div><div class="para"> This denotes words or phrases encountered on a system, including application names; dialogue box text; labelled buttons; check-box and radio button labels; menu titles and sub-menu titles. For example: </div><div class="blockquote"><blockquote class="blockquote"><div class="para"> Choose <span class="guimenu"><strong>System > Preferences > Mouse</strong></span> from the main menu bar to launch <span class="application"><strong>Mouse Preferences</strong></span>. In the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Buttons</strong></span> tab, click the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Left-handed mouse</strong></span> check box and click <span class="guibutton"><strong>Close</strong></span> to switch the primary mouse button from the left to the right (making the mouse suitable for use in the left hand). </div><div class="para"> To insert a special character into a <span class="application"><strong>gedit</strong></span> file, choose <span class="guimenu"><strong>Applications > Accessories > Character Map</strong></span> from the main menu bar. Next, choose <span class="guimenu"><strong>Search > Find…</strong></span> from the <span class="application"><strong>Character Map</strong></span> menu bar, type the name of the character in the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Search</strong></span> field and click <span class="guibutton"><strong>Next</strong></span>. The character you sought will be highlighted in the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Character Table</strong></span>. Double-click this highlighted character to place it in the <span class="guilabel"><strong>Text to copy</strong></span> field and then click the <span class="guibutton"><strong>Copy</strong></span> button.
