6 awstats_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the awstats pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the awstats processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The awstats processes execute with the awstats_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep awstats_t
20
24 The awstats_t SELinux type can be entered via the awstats_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the awstats_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/share/awstats/tools/.+.pl
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their awstats
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for awstats:
43 awstats_t, awstats_script_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a awstats_t can be used to make the process
47 type awstats_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. awstats
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run awstats with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57 If you want to determine whether awstats can purge httpd log files, you
61 must turn on the awstats_purge_apache_log_files boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63 setsebool -P awstats_purge_apache_log_files 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
76 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
79
83 The SELinux process type awstats_t can manage files labeled with the
84 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
85 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
86 awstats_var_lib_t
88 /var/lib/awstats(/.*)?
90
93 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
94 type.
95 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
97 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
99 SELinux awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
100 awstats processes in as secure a method as possible.
101 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
103 SELinux defines the file context types for the awstats, if you wanted
105 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
106 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
107 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
108 semanage fcontext -a -t awstats_ra_content_t '/srv/myawstats_con‐
110 tent(/.*)?'
111 restorecon -R -v /srv/myawstats_content
112 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
114 match multiple files.
115 The following file types are defined for awstats:
117 awstats_content_t
121 - Set files with the awstats_content_t type, if you want to treat the
123 files as awstats content.
124 awstats_exec_t
128 - Set files with the awstats_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
130 executable to the awstats_t domain.
131 awstats_htaccess_t
135 - Set files with the awstats_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
137 file as a awstats access file.
138 awstats_ra_content_t
142 - Set files with the awstats_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
144 the files as awstats read/append content.
145 awstats_rw_content_t
149 - Set files with the awstats_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat
151 the files as awstats read/write content.
152 awstats_script_exec_t
156 - Set files with the awstats_script_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
158 tion an executable to the awstats_script_t domain.
159 awstats_tmp_t
163 - Set files with the awstats_tmp_t type, if you want to store awstats
165 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
166 awstats_var_lib_t
170 - Set files with the awstats_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
172 awstats files under the /var/lib directory.
173 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
177 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
178 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
179 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
180
183 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
184 mappings.
185 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
187 process type is permissive.
188 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
190 icy modules.
191 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
193 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
196 icy settings.
