6 httpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the httpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The httpd processes execute with the httpd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep httpd_t
19
20
21
23 The httpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/httpd(.worker)?, /usr/sbin/apache(2)?, /usr/lib/apache-
28 ssl/.+, /usr/sbin/apache-ssl(2)?, /usr/sbin/nginx, /usr/sbin/thttpd,
29 /usr/sbin/php-fpm, /usr/sbin/cherokee, /usr/sbin/lighttpd,
30 /usr/sbin/httpd.event, /usr/bin/mongrel_rails, /usr/sbin/htcacheclean
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 httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd pro‐
40 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for httpd:
43
44 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
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_t can be used to make the process
47 type httpd_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. httpd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run httpd with the tightest access possible.

389 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
390
391 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
392 command:
393
394 semanage port -l
395
396
397 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
398 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
399 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
400
401 The following port types are defined for httpd:
402
403
404 http_cache_port_t
405
406
407
408 Default Defined Ports:
409 tcp 8080,8118,8123,10001-10010
410 udp 3130
411
412
413 http_port_t
414
415
416
417 Default Defined Ports:
418 tcp 80,81,443,488,8008,8009,8443,9000
419
421 The SELinux process type httpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
422 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
423 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

833 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
834 type.
835
836 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
837
838 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
839 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
840 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
841
842 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
843
844
845 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
846 under the /var/lib/php directory. If you would like to store the data
847 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
848 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
849 dirctory you would execute the following command:
850
851 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/php /srv/php
852 restorecon -R -v /srv/php
853
854 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
855 under the /var/www directory. If you would like to store the data in a
856 different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
857 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
858 dirctory you would execute the following command:
859
860 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /srv/www
861 restorecon -R -v /srv/www
862
863 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
864
865 SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd, if you wanted to
866 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
867 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
868 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
869
870 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_run_t '/srv/myhttpd_content(/.*)?'
871 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_content
872
873 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
874 match multiple files.
875

877

1208 - Set files with the httpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
1209 httpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.

1223 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
1224 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
1225 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
1226 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
1227
1228
1230 If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
1231 Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
1232 tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
1233 content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
1234 tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
1235
1236 Allow httpd servers to read the /var/httpd directory by adding the pub‐
1237 lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file
1238 type.
1239
1240 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/httpd(/.*)?"
1241 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd
1242
1243 Allow httpd servers to read and write /var/httpd/incoming by adding the
1244 public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
1245 type. You also need to turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1246
1247 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/httpd/incoming(/.*)?"
1248 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd/incoming
1249 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1250
1251
1252 If you want to allow Apache to modify public files used for public file
1253 transfer services. Directories/Files must be labeled public_con‐
1254 tent_rw_t., you must turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1255
1256 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1257
1258
1260 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
1261 mappings.
1262
1263 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
1264 process type is permissive.
1265
1266 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
1267 icy modules.
1268
1269 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
1270
1271 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
1272
1273
1274 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
1275 icy settings.
