6 snmpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the snmpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the snmpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The snmpd processes execute with the snmpd_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 snmpd_t
19
20
21
23 The snmpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the snmpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the snmpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
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 snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their snmpd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for snmpd:
40
41 snmpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a snmpd_t can be used to make the process
44 type snmpd_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. snmpd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run snmpd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
64 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
65
66 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
67 command:
68
69 semanage port -l
70
71
72 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
73 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
74 snmpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
75
76 The following port types are defined for snmpd:
77
78
79 snmp_port_t
80
81
82
83 Default Defined Ports:
84 tcp 199,1161,161-162
85 udp 161-162
86
88 The SELinux process type snmpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
89 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
90 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

149 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
150 type.
151
152 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
153
154 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
155 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
156 snmpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
157
158 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
159
160
161 snmpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
162 under the /var/run/snmpd directory. If you would like to store the
163 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
164 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
165 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
166
167 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/snmpd /srv/snmpd
168 restorecon -R -v /srv/snmpd
169
170 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
171
172 SELinux defines the file context types for the snmpd, if you wanted to
173 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
174 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
175 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
176
177 semanage fcontext -a -t snmpd_var_lib_t '/srv/mysnmpd_content(/.*)?'
178 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysnmpd_content
179
180 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
181 match multiple files.
182
183 The following file types are defined for snmpd:
184
185
186
187 snmpd_exec_t
188
189 - Set files with the snmpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
190 executable to the snmpd_t domain.
191
192
193 Paths:
194 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
195
196
197 snmpd_initrc_exec_t
198
199 - Set files with the snmpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
200 tion an executable to the snmpd_initrc_t domain.
201
202
203
204 snmpd_log_t
205
206 - Set files with the snmpd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
207 snmpd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
208
209
210
211 snmpd_var_lib_t
212
213 - Set files with the snmpd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
214 snmpd files under the /var/lib directory.
215
216
217 Paths:
218 /var/agentx(/.*)?, /var/net-snmp(/.*), /var/lib/snmp(/.*)?,
219 /var/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/lib/net-snmp(/.*)?,
220 /var/spool/snmptt(/.*)?, /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index
221
222
223 snmpd_var_run_t
224
225 - Set files with the snmpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
226 snmpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
227
228
229 Paths:
230 /var/run/snmpd(/.*)?, /var/run/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/run/snmpd.pid
231
232
233 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
234 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
235 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
236 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
237
238
240 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
241 mappings.
242
243 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
244 process type is permissive.
245
246 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
247 icy modules.
248
249 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
250
251 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
252
253
254 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
255 icy settings.
