6 tftpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the tftpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the tftpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The tftpd processes execute with the tftpd_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 tftpd_t
19
20
21
23 The tftpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the tftpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the tftpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/atftpd, /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
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 tftpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their tftpd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for tftpd:
40
41 tftpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a tftpd_t can be used to make the process
44 type tftpd_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. tftpd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run tftpd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow tftp to read and write files in the user home
57 directories, you must turn on the tftp_home_dir boolean. Disabled by
58 default.
59
60 setsebool -P tftp_home_dir 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68

72 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
73
74 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
75 command:
76
77 semanage port -l
78
79
80 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
81 SELinux tftpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
82 tftpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84 The following port types are defined for tftpd:
85
86
87 tftp_port_t
88
89
90
91 Default Defined Ports:
92 udp 69
93
95 The SELinux process type tftpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
96 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

158 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
159 type.
160
161 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
162
163 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
164 SELinux tftpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
165 tftpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
166
167 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
168
169 SELinux defines the file context types for the tftpd, if you wanted to
170 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
171 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
172 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
173
174 semanage fcontext -a -t tftpd_etc_t '/srv/mytftpd_content(/.*)?'
175 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytftpd_content
176
177 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
178 match multiple files.
179
180 The following file types are defined for tftpd:
181
182
183
184 tftpd_etc_t
185
186 - Set files with the tftpd_etc_t type, if you want to store tftpd files
187 in the /etc directories.
188
189
190
191 tftpd_exec_t
192
193 - Set files with the tftpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
194 executable to the tftpd_t domain.
195
196
197 Paths:
198 /usr/sbin/atftpd, /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
199
200
201 tftpd_var_run_t
202
203 - Set files with the tftpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
204 tftpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
205
206
207
208 tftpdir_rw_t
209
210 - Set files with the tftpdir_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files
211 as tftpdir read/write content.
212
213
214
215 tftpdir_t
216
217 - Set files with the tftpdir_t type, if you want to treat the files as
218 tftpdir data.
219
220
221 Paths:
222 /tftpboot/.*, /tftpboot
223
224
225 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
226 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
227 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
228 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
229
230
232 If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
233 Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
234 tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
235 content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
236 tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
237
238 Allow tftpd servers to read the /var/tftpd directory by adding the pub‐
239 lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file
240 type.
241
242 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/tftpd(/.*)?"
243 restorecon -F -R -v /var/tftpd
244
245 Allow tftpd servers to read and write /var/tftpd/incoming by adding the
246 public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
247 type. You also need to turn on the tftpd_anon_write boolean.
248
249 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/tftpd/incoming(/.*)?"
250 restorecon -F -R -v /var/tftpd/incoming
251 setsebool -P tftpd_anon_write 1
252
253
254 If you want to allow tftp to modify public files used for public file
255 transfer services., you must turn on the tftp_anon_write boolean.
256
257 setsebool -P tftp_anon_write 1
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.
