6 awstats_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the awstats pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the awstats processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The awstats processes execute with the awstats_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep awstats_t
20
21
22
24 The awstats_t SELinux type can be entered via the awstats_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the awstats_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/share/awstats/tools/.+.pl
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their awstats
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for awstats:
43
44 awstats_t, awstats_script_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a awstats_t can be used to make the process
47 type awstats_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. awstats
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run awstats with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether awstats can purge httpd log files, you
61 must turn on the awstats_purge_apache_log_files boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63
64 setsebool -P awstats_purge_apache_log_files 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
69 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
70 default.
71
72 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow any process to mmap any file on system with
77 attribute file_type, you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78 ean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P domain_can_mmap_files 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
85 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
93 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
94
95 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
96
97
98
99 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
103 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107 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
110 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
118
119
120
121 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
122 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
125
126
127
129 The SELinux process type awstats_t can manage files labeled with the
130 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
131 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
132
133 awstats_tmp_t
134
135
136 awstats_var_lib_t
137
138 /var/lib/awstats(/.*)?
139
140
142 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
143 type.
144
145 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
146
147 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
148 SELinux awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
149 awstats processes in as secure a method as possible.
150
151 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
152
153 SELinux defines the file context types for the awstats, if you wanted
154 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
155 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
156 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
157
158 semanage fcontext -a -t awstats_var_lib_t '/srv/myawstats_con‐
159 tent(/.*)?'
160 restorecon -R -v /srv/myawstats_content
161
162 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
163 match multiple files.
164
165 The following file types are defined for awstats:
166
167
168
169 awstats_content_t
170
171 - Set files with the awstats_content_t type, if you want to treat the
172 files as awstats content.
173
174
175
176 awstats_exec_t
177
178 - Set files with the awstats_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
179 executable to the awstats_t domain.
180
181
182
183 awstats_htaccess_t
184
185 - Set files with the awstats_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
186 file as a awstats access file.
187
188
189
190 awstats_ra_content_t
191
192 - Set files with the awstats_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
193 the files as awstats read/append content.
194
195
196
197 awstats_rw_content_t
198
199 - Set files with the awstats_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat
200 the files as awstats read/write content.
201
202
203
204 awstats_script_exec_t
205
206 - Set files with the awstats_script_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
207 tion an executable to the awstats_script_t domain.
208
209
210
211 awstats_tmp_t
212
213 - Set files with the awstats_tmp_t type, if you want to store awstats
214 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
215
216
217
218 awstats_var_lib_t
219
220 - Set files with the awstats_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
221 awstats files under the /var/lib directory.
222
223
224
225 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
226 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
227 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
228 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
229
230
232 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
233 mappings.
234
235 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
236 process type is permissive.
237
238 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
239 icy modules.
240
241 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
242
243
244 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
245 icy settings.
