Configuring the Behavior of Application Execution for Users
To help prevent flawed or malicious applications from changing a user's files, you can use
Boolean values to specify whether users can run applications in directories in which they have
write access, such as the user's home directory hierarchy and /tmp
.
The following settings let Oracle Linux users in the
guest_t
and xguest_t
domains run applications in
directories they can write to:
sudo setsebool -P allow_guest_exec_content on
sudo setsebool -P allow_xguest_exec_content on
The following settings prevent users in the staff_t
and
user_t
domains from running applications in directories they can write to:
sudo setsebool -P allow_staff_exec_content off
sudo setsebool -P allow_user_exec_content off
