6 redis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the redis processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the redis processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The redis processes execute with the redis_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 redis_t
19
20
21
23 The redis_t SELinux type can be entered via the redis_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the redis_t domain are the following:
26
27 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their redis pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for redis:
40
41 redis_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a redis_t can be used to make the process
44 type redis_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. redis
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run redis with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow Redis to run redis-sentinal notification scripts,
57 you must turn on the redis_enable_notify boolean. Disabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P redis_enable_notify 1
60
61
62
63 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
64 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
67
68
69
70 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
71 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
74
75
76
78 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
79
80 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
81 command:
82
83 semanage port -l
84
85
86 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
87 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
88 redis processes in as secure a method as possible.
89
90 The following port types are defined for redis:
91
92
93 redis_port_t
94
95
96
97 Default Defined Ports:
98 tcp 6379,16379,26379
99
101 The SELinux process type redis_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
102 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
103 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

169 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
170 type.
171
172 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
173
174 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
175 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
176 redis processes in as secure a method as possible.
177
178 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
179
180 SELinux defines the file context types for the redis, if you wanted to
181 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
182 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
183 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
184
185 semanage fcontext -a -t redis_unit_file_t '/srv/myredis_content(/.*)?'
186 restorecon -R -v /srv/myredis_content
187
188 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
189 match multiple files.
190
191 The following file types are defined for redis:
192
193
194
195 redis_conf_t
196
197 - Set files with the redis_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
198 as redis configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
199
200
201
202 redis_exec_t
203
204 - Set files with the redis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
205 executable to the redis_t domain.
206
207
208 Paths:
209 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
210
211
212 redis_initrc_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the redis_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
215 tion an executable to the redis_initrc_t domain.
216
217
218
219 redis_log_t
220
221 - Set files with the redis_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
222 redis log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
223
224
225
226 redis_tmp_t
227
228 - Set files with the redis_tmp_t type, if you want to store redis tem‐
229 porary files in the /tmp directories.
230
231
232
233 redis_unit_file_t
234
235 - Set files with the redis_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
236 files as redis unit content.
237
238
239
240 redis_var_lib_t
241
242 - Set files with the redis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
243 redis files under the /var/lib directory.
244
245
246
247 redis_var_run_t
248
249 - Set files with the redis_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
250 redis files under the /run or /var/run directory.
251
252
253
254 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
259
261 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
262 mappings.
263
264 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
265 process type is permissive.
266
267 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
268 icy modules.
269
270 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
271
272 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
273
274
275 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
276 icy settings.
