sechecker

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

sechecker allows the user to perform predefined modular checks on a SELinux policy. Profiles exist to group modules together and allow modification of module settings (see below).  

POLICY

sechecker supports loading a SELinux policy in one of four formats.

source

A single text file containing policy source for versions 12 through 21. This file is usually named policy.conf.

binary

A single file containing a monolithic kernel binary policy for versions 15 through 21. This file is usually named by version - for example, policy.20.

modular

A list of policy packages each containing a loadable policy module. The first module listed must be a base module.

policy list

A single text file containing all the information needed to load a policy, usually exported by SETools graphical utilities.

If no policy file is provided, sechecker will search for the system default policy: checking first for a source policy, next for a binary policy matching the running kernel's preferred version, and finally for the highest version that can be found. In the latter case, the policy will be downgraded to match the running system. If no policy can be found, sechecker will print an error message and exit.  

OPTIONS

-p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE

Load module settings from a module profile. The settings in the profile will override the default settings for all specified modules. If specified without -m, run all modules in the profile. PROFILE may either be the name of a known profile (see --list) or the path to a user created profile. see PROFILE OPTIONS below for more information about creating profiles.

-m MODULE, --module=MODULE

Run only the module named MODULE (see --list).

--min-sev=SEVERITY

Report only results with the minimum severity of SEVERITY. SEVERITY must have one of the following values:

low

The module's results indicate a flaw in the policy that does not affect the manner in which the policy is enforced, but is considered to be improper.

med

The module's results indicate a flaw in the policy that changes the manner in which the policy is enforced; however, it does not present an identifiable security risk.

high

The module's results indicate a flaw in the policy that presents an identifiable security risk.

--fcfile=FILE

Use FILE for the file_contexts file instead of the system default. This flag is only applicable if sechecker was configured with the --enable-sefs flag.

-l, --list

Print a list of the name and a brief description of all known profiles and modules and exit.

-h[MODULE], --help[=MODULE]

Print general help information and exit. If MODULE is provided, print help information for the module named MODULE and exit.

-V, --version

Print version information and exit.

REPORT GENERATION OPTIONS

-q, --quiet

suppress output

-s, --short

print short output

-v, --verbose

print verbose output

PROFILE OPTIONS

<sechecker version="1.1">
       <profile>

               <module name="find_domains">

                       <output value="quiet"/>

                       <option name="domain_attribute">

                               <item value="domain"/>

                               <item value="user_domain"/>

                               ...

                       </option>

               </module>

               ...

       </profile>

</sechecker>

The example profile specifies the output property for the find_domains module. The example profile also overrides the default value for the "domain_attribute" option in the find_domains module.  

PROFILE OUTPUT OPTIONS

verbose

Print each result in the report with accompanying proof(s).

short

Print a list of results with no accompanying proof.

none

Do not print output from this module in the report; however, module errors will still be printed.

quiet

Do not print output from this module in the report and do not print errors. This is useful for utility modules for which the calling module handles any errors.
