6 mysqld_safe_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 mysqld_safe processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mysqld_safe processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The mysqld_safe processes execute with the mysqld_safe_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep mysqld_safe_t
20
24 The mysqld_safe_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 mysqld_safe_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the mysqld_safe_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 mysqld_safe policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 mysqld_safe processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for mysqld_safe:
43 mysqld_safe_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a mysqld_safe_t can be used to make the
47 process type mysqld_safe_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 mysqld_safe policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run mysqld_safe with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
61 on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

97 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
98 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
100 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
104 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
105 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
107 If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the
111 daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Disabled by default.
112 setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
114 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
118 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
119 default.
120 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
122 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
126 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
127 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
129 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
133 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
134 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
136 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
140 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
141 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
143 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
147 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
148 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

154 The SELinux process type mysqld_safe_t can manage files labeled with
155 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
156 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
157 missions.

234 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
235 type.
236 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
238 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
240 SELinux mysqld_safe policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
241 their mysqld_safe processes in as secure a method as possible.
242 The following file types are defined for mysqld_safe:
244 mysqld_safe_exec_t
248 - Set files with the mysqld_safe_exec_t type, if you want to transition
250 an executable to the mysqld_safe_t domain.
251 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
255 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
256 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
257 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
258
261 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
262 mappings.
263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
265 process type is permissive.
266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
268 icy modules.
269 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
271 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
274 icy settings.
