file ioctl

This directive allows the domain to make an ioctl request with the specified command number. For information on the ioctl command numbers, refer to manuals provided by each module with ioctl functionality.

This example allows the domain to issue an ioctl request with command number 0x8915 (i.e. SIOCGIFADDR request) on sockets with family = 2, type = 2, protocol = 17 (i.e. UDP/IPv4 sockets):

file ioctl socket:[family=2:type=2:protocol=17] 0x8915

• path_group

file mount

This directive allows the domain to mount a filesystem with the specified devices, pathnames and options.

The syntax is: "file mount $DEVICE $MOUNTPOINT $FILESYSTEM $OPTIONS". If $FILESYSTEM requires a device file, a block device file's pathname is specified for $DEVICE. The $OPTIONS is a hexadecimal (or octal or decimal) integer expression. The following options can also be specified for $FILESYSTEM:

• --bind
• --move
• --remount
• --make-unbindable
• --make-private
• --make-slave
• --make-shared

This example allows the domain to remount the / directory:

file mount any / --remount 0x0

This example allows the domain to mount "/dev/hdc" which was formatted as an ext3 filesystem at "/var/www/" directory:

file mount /dev/hdc /var/www/ ext3 0xF

This example allows the domain to mount a tmpfs filesystem at "/dev/shm/" directory:

file mount none /dev/shm/ tmpfs 0xE

See also:

• number_group
• path_group
• Filesystem expressions

file unmount

This directive allows the domain to unmount a filesystem from the specified pathname.

This example allows the domain to unmount the filesystem mounted at "/mnt/cdrom/" directory:

file unmount /mnt/cdrom/

See also:

• path_group
• Filesystem expressions

file chroot

This directive allows the domain to use the specified pathname as a new / directory.

This example allows the domain to use "/var/empty/sshd/" as a new / directory:

file chroot /var/empty/sshd/

See also:

• path_group
• Filesystem expressions

file pivot_root

This directive allows the domain to use the first specified pathname as a new / directory and bring the old / directory to the second specified pathname.

This functionality is generally used for only once for switching the / directory from initrd/initramfs to the hard drive, which generally occurs before TOMOYO Linux has been activated. It is therefore unlikely that you will need this directive.

This example allows the domain to use "/sys/kernel/security/" as a new / directory and bring the old / directory to "/sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/" directory:

file pivot_root securityfs:/ securityfs:/tomoyo/

See also:

• path_group
• Filesystem expressions

misc env

This directive allows the domain to read the specified environment variable. Many programs behave differently depending on the environment variables.

This example allows the domain to read the environment variable "LD_PRELOAD":

misc env LD_PRELOAD

network inet

This directive allows the domain to perform network socket operations.

IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are both supported.

The syntax is summarised in the following table:

This example allows the domain to connect to port 80 on IP address 202.221.179.11:

network inet stream connect 202.221.179.11 80

See also:

• address_group

network unix

This directive allows the domain to perform unix domain socket operations.

The syntax is summarised in the following table:

This example allows the domain to bind to "/tmp/.X11-unix/X0" and "\000/tmp/.X11-unix/X0":

network unix stream bind /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
network unix stream bind \000/tmp/.X11-unix/X0

See also:

• path_group

use_group

This directive allows the domain to inherit permissions defined for the specified group. These permissions are defined in exception policy.

This example allows the domain to read "/dev/null":

In exception policy:

acl_group 2 file read /dev/null

In domain policy:

use_group 2

use_profile

This directive is changes the profile number of the domain.

This example changes the profile number of the domain to 3:

use_profile 3

task manual_domain_transition

This directive causes a domain transition to occur when the application writes a domain name to the "/sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/self_domain" interface. This can be used to split permissions without requiring an execution, but the application must be modified to write to the interface at the appropriate time.

This example causes a domain transition to the "<kernel> //apache /www.tomoyo00.com" domain to occur when "<kernel> //apache /www.tomoyo00.com" is written to "/sys/kernel/security/tomoyo/self_domain" by the domain:

task manual_domain_transition <kernel> //apache /www.tomoyo00.com

quota_exceeded

This directive indicates that the domain has failed to append an entry while in "Learning Mode" due to the "max_learning_entry" value being reached.

transition_failed

This directive indicates that a process within this domain was not able to undergo a domain transition following an execute request.

This problem occurs, in order to avoid access denials by TOMOYO unless enforcing mode is used, due to TOMOYO accepting program execution requests unless enforcing mode even if domain transition has failed. The cause of this problem is either the name of the domain being too long, or the kernel being unable to allocate memory. To fix this problem, either suppress domain transitions or increase the memory quota which TOMOYO can use.
