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/apachectl, /usr/sbin/httpd.event, /usr/bin/mongrel_rails,
31 /usr/sbin/htcacheclean
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for httpd:
44
45 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
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_t can be used to make the process
48 type httpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. httpd
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run httpd with the tightest access possible.

390 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
391
392 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
393 command:
394
395 semanage port -l
396
397
398 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
399 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
400 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
401
402 The following port types are defined for httpd:
403
404
405 http_cache_port_t
406
407
408
409 Default Defined Ports:
410 tcp 8080,8118,8123,10001-10010
411 udp 3130
412
413
414 http_port_t
415
416
417
418 Default Defined Ports:
419 tcp 80,81,443,488,8008,8009,8443,9000
420
422 The SELinux process type httpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
423 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
424 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

835 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
836 type.
837
838 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
839
840 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
841 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
842 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
843
844 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
845
846
847 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
848 under the /var/lib/php directory. If you would like to store the data
849 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
850 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
851 dirctory you would execute the following command:
852
853 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/php /srv/php
854 restorecon -R -v /srv/php
855
856 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
857 under the /var/www directory. If you would like to store the data in a
858 different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
859 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
860 dirctory you would execute the following command:
861
862 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /srv/www
863 restorecon -R -v /srv/www
864
865 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
866
867 SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd, if you wanted to
868 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
869 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
870 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
871
872 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_run_t '/srv/myhttpd_content(/.*)?'
873 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_content
874
875 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
876 match multiple files.
877

879

1210 - Set files with the httpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
1211 httpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.

1226 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
1227 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
1228 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
1229 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
1230
1231
1233 If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
1234 Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
1235 tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
1236 content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
1237 tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
1238
1239 Allow httpd servers to read the /var/httpd directory by adding the pub‐
1240 lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file
1241 type.
1242
1243 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/httpd(/.*)?"
1244 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd
1245
1246 Allow httpd servers to read and write /var/httpd/incoming by adding the
1247 public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
1248 type. You also need to turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1249
1250 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/httpd/incoming(/.*)?"
1251 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd/incoming
1252 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1253
1254
1255 If you want to allow Apache to modify public files used for public file
1256 transfer services. Directories/Files must be labeled public_con‐
1257 tent_rw_t., you must turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1258
1259 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1260
1261
1263 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
1264 mappings.
1265
1266 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
1267 process type is permissive.
1268
1269 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
1270 icy modules.
1271
1272 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
1273
1274 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
1275
1276
1277 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
1278 icy settings.
