6 memcached_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the memcached
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the memcached processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The memcached processes execute with the memcached_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep memcached_t
20
21
22
24 The memcached_t SELinux type can be entered via the memcached_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the memcached_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/memcached
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 memcached policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mem‐
40 cached processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for memcached:
43
44 memcached_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a memcached_t can be used to make the
47 process type memcached_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mem‐
54 cached policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run memcached with the tightest access
56 possible.

171 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
172
173 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
174 command:
175
176 semanage port -l
177
178
179 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
180 SELinux memcached policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
181 memcached processes in as secure a method as possible.
182
183 The following port types are defined for memcached:
184
185
186 memcache_port_t
187
188
189
190 Default Defined Ports:
191 tcp 11211
192 udp 11211
193
195 The SELinux process type memcached_t can manage files labeled with the
196 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
197 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

241 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
242 type.
243
244 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
245
246 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
247 SELinux memcached policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
248 memcached processes in as secure a method as possible.
249
250 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
251
252 SELinux defines the file context types for the memcached, if you wanted
253 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
254 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
255 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
256
257 semanage fcontext -a -t memcached_var_run_t '/srv/mymemcached_con‐
258 tent(/.*)?'
259 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymemcached_content
260
261 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
262 match multiple files.
263
264 The following file types are defined for memcached:
265
266
267
268 memcached_exec_t
269
270 - Set files with the memcached_exec_t type, if you want to transition
271 an executable to the memcached_t domain.
272
273
274
275 memcached_initrc_exec_t
276
277 - Set files with the memcached_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
278 sition an executable to the memcached_initrc_t domain.
279
280
281
282 memcached_var_run_t
283
284 - Set files with the memcached_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
285 memcached files under the /run or /var/run directory.
286
287
288 Paths:
289 /var/run/memcached(/.*)?, /var/run/ipa_memcached(/.*)?
290
291
292 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
293 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
294 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
295 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
296
297
299 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
300 mappings.
301
302 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
303 process type is permissive.
304
305 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
306 icy modules.
307
308 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
309
310 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
311
312
313 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
314 icy settings.
