httpd_selinux(8) SELinux Policy httpd httpd_selinux(8)

NAME

httpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the httpd processes

DESCRIPTION

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd processes via flexible mandatory access control.

The httpd processes execute with the httpd_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep httpd_t

ENTRYPOINTS

The httpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_t domain are the following:

/usr/bin/httpd(.worker)?, /usr/bin/apache(2)?, /usr/bin/httpd2-.*, /usr/bin/apache-ssl(2)?, /usr/lib/apache-ssl/.+, /usr/bin/nginx, /usr/bin/thttpd, /usr/bin/php-fpm, /usr/bin/cherokee, /usr/bin/lighttpd, /usr/bin/apachectl, /usr/bin/httpd.event, /usr/bin/htcacheclean, /usr/bin/mongrel_rails

PROCESS TYPES

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for httpd:

httpd_t, httpd_helper_t, httpd_php_t, httpd_rotatelogs_t, httpd_suexec_t, httpd_sys_script_t, httpd_user_script_t, httpd_passwd_t, httpd_unconfined_script_t

Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_t can be used to make the process type httpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. httpd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run httpd with the tightest access possible.

PORT TYPES

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.

You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports. SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following port types are defined for httpd:





Default Defined Ports: tcp 8080,8118,8123,10001-10010 udp 3130





  

  








Default Defined Ports: tcp 80,81,443,488,8008,8009,8443,9000 udp
    80,443






MANAGED FILES


The SELinux process type httpd_t can manage files labeled with the
    following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file
    types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS


SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the
    file type.


You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to
    ls


Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
    SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd
    processes in as secure a method as possible.


EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES




httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context
    types under the /var/lib/httpd directory. If you would like to store the
    data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
    equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
    directory you would execute the following command:


semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/httpd /srv/httpd
  

  restorecon -R -v /srv/httpd


httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context
    types under the /var/lib/php directory. If you would like to store the data
    in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
    equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
    directory you would execute the following command:


semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/php /srv/php
  

  restorecon -R -v /srv/php


httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context
    types under the /var/www directory. If you would like to store the data in a
    different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
    equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
    directory you would execute the following command:


semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /srv/www
  

  restorecon -R -v /srv/www


STANDARD FILE CONTEXT


SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd, if you
    wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to
    execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
    restorecon to put the labels on disk.


semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_exec_t
    '/srv/httpd/content(/.*)?'
  

  restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_content


Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels
    that match multiple files.


The following file types are defined for httpd:

Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon
    command. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use
    the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling
    database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.








SHARING FILES


If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP,
    rsync, Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and
    public_content_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read
    the content. If you want a particular domain to write to the
    public_content_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.



  

  




semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t
    "/var/httpd(/.*)?"
  

  restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd



  

  




semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t
    "/var/httpd/incoming(/.*)?"
  

  restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd/incoming
  

  setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1




If you want to allow Apache to modify public files used for public
    file transfer services. Directories/Files must be labeled
    public_content_rw_t., you must turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.




setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1









COMMANDS


semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default
    file context mappings.


semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether
    or not a process type is permissive.


semanage module can also be used to
    enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.


semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port
    definitions


semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the
    booleans




system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize
    SELinux policy settings.
