6 mysqld_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mysqld pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mysqld processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mysqld processes execute with the mysqld_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 mysqld_t
20
21
22
24 The mysqld_t SELinux type can be entered via the mysqld_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mysqld_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/mysqld(-max|-debug)?, /usr/sbin/ndbd, /usr/libexec/mysqld,
30 /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade, /usr/bin/mysqld_safe_helper
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 mysqld policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mysqld
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for mysqld:
43
44 mysqld_t, mysqld_safe_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a mysqld_t can be used to make the process
47 type mysqld_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. mysqld
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run mysqld with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59 If you want to allow mysqld to connect to all ports, you must turn on
60 the mysql_connect_any boolean. Disabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P mysql_connect_any 1
63
64
65
66 If you want to allow mysqld to connect to http port, you must turn on
67 the mysql_connect_http boolean. Disabled by default.
68
69 setsebool -P mysql_connect_http 1
70
71
72
73 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
74 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
75 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to determine whether exim can connect to databases, you
82 must turn on the exim_can_connect_db boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P exim_can_connect_db 1
85
86
87
88 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
89 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
92
93
94
95 If you want to determine whether ftpd can connect to databases over the
96 TCP network, you must turn on the ftpd_connect_db boolean. Disabled by
97 default.
98
99 setsebool -P ftpd_connect_db 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to allow HTTPD scripts and modules to connect to databases
104 over the network, you must turn on the httpd_can_network_connect_db
105 boolean. Disabled by default.
106
107 setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect_db 1
108
109
110
111 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
112 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
113
114 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
115
116
117
118 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
119 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
120
121 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
122
123
124
125 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
126 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
127
128 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
129
130
131
132 If you want to allow PowerDNS to connect to databases over the network,
133 you must turn on the pdns_can_network_connect_db boolean. Disabled by
134 default.
135
136 setsebool -P pdns_can_network_connect_db 1
137
138
139
141 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
142
143 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
144 command:
145
146 semanage port -l
147
148
149 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
150 SELinux mysqld policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
151 mysqld processes in as secure a method as possible.
152
153 The following port types are defined for mysqld:
154
155
156 mysqld_port_t
157
158
159
160 Default Defined Ports:
161 tcp 1186,3306,63132-63164
162
164 The SELinux process type mysqld_t can manage files labeled with the
165 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
166 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

257 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
258 type.
259
260 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
261
262 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
263 SELinux mysqld policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
264 mysqld processes in as secure a method as possible.
265
266 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
267
268
269 mysqld policy stores data with multiple different file context types
270 under the /var/log/mysql directory. If you would like to store the
271 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
272 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
273 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
274
275 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/mysql /srv/mysql
276 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysql
277
278 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
279
280 SELinux defines the file context types for the mysqld, if you wanted to
281 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
282 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
283 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
284
285 semanage fcontext -a -t mysqld_tmp_t '/srv/mymysqld_content(/.*)?'
286 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymysqld_content
287
288 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
289 match multiple files.
290
291 The following file types are defined for mysqld:
292
293
294
295 mysqld_db_t

322
323
324 mysqld_home_t

329
330 Paths:
331 /root/.my.cnf, /home/[^/]+/.my.cnf
332
333
334 mysqld_initrc_exec_t
335

337 tion an executable to the mysqld_initrc_t domain.
338
339
340
341 mysqld_log_t
342
343 - Set files with the mysqld_log_t type, if you want to treat the data

387 /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
388
389
390 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
391 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
392 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
393 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
394
395
397 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
398 mappings.
399
400 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
401 process type is permissive.
402
403 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
404 icy modules.
405
406 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
407
408 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
