6 redis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the redis processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the redis processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The redis processes execute with the redis_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep redis_t
19
23 The redis_t SELinux type can be entered via the redis_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the redis_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/redis-server
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their redis pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for redis:
40 redis_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a redis_t can be used to make the process
44 type redis_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. redis
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run redis with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
57 on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
58 setsebool -P allow_daemons_dump_core 1
60 If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on
64 the allow_daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.
65 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1
67 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
71 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
72 default.
73 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
75 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
79 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
80 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
82 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
86 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
87 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
89 If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the
93 daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Disabled by default.
94 setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
96 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
101 default.
102 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
122 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
123 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
125
129 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
130 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
132 command:
133 semanage port -l
135 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
138 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
139 redis processes in as secure a method as possible.
140 The following port types are defined for redis:
142 redis_port_t
145 Default Defined Ports:
149 tcp 6379
150
152 The SELinux process type redis_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
153 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
154 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

227 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
228 type.
229 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
231 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
233 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
234 redis processes in as secure a method as possible.
235 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
237 SELinux defines the file context types for the redis, if you wanted to
239 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
240 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
241 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
242 semanage fcontext -a -t redis_var_run_t '/srv/myredis_content(/.*)?'
244 restorecon -R -v /srv/myredis_content
245 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
247 match multiple files.
248 The following file types are defined for redis:
250 redis_exec_t
254 - Set files with the redis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
256 executable to the redis_t domain.
257 redis_initrc_exec_t
261 - Set files with the redis_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
263 tion an executable to the redis_initrc_t domain.
264 redis_log_t
268 - Set files with the redis_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
270 redis log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
271 redis_var_lib_t
275 - Set files with the redis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
277 redis files under the /var/lib directory.
278 redis_var_run_t
282 - Set files with the redis_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
284 redis files under the /run or /var/run directory.
285 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
289 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
290 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
291 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
292
295 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
296 mappings.
297 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
299 process type is permissive.
300 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
302 icy modules.
303 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
305 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
307 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
310 icy settings.
