6 mpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The mpd processes execute with the mpd_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep mpd_t
19
20
21
23 The mpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the mpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the mpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/mpd
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 mpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mpd processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for mpd:
40
41 mpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a mpd_t can be used to make the process type
44 mpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mpd
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run mpd with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55 If you want to determine whether mpd can traverse user home directo‐
56 ries, you must turn on the mpd_enable_homedirs boolean. Disabled by
57 default.
58
59 setsebool -P mpd_enable_homedirs 1
60
61
62
63 If you want to determine whether mpd can use cifs file systems, you
64 must turn on the mpd_use_cifs boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P mpd_use_cifs 1
67
68
69
70 If you want to determine whether mpd can use nfs file systems, you must
71 turn on the mpd_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P mpd_use_nfs 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
78 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
81
82
83
85 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
86
87 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
88 command:
89
90 semanage port -l
91
92
93 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
94 SELinux mpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mpd
95 processes in as secure a method as possible.
96
97 The following port types are defined for mpd:
98
99
100 mpd_port_t
101
102
103
104 Default Defined Ports:
105 tcp 6600
106
108 The SELinux process type mpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
109 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
110 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

178 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179 type.
180
181 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
184 SELinux mpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mpd
185 processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
188
189
190 mpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types under
191 the /var/lib/mpd directory. If you would like to store the data in a
192 different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
193 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
194 directory you would execute the following command:
195
196 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/mpd /srv/mpd
197 restorecon -R -v /srv/mpd
198
199 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
200
201 SELinux defines the file context types for the mpd, if you wanted to
202 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
203 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
204 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
205
206 semanage fcontext -a -t mpd_var_run_t '/srv/mympd_content(/.*)?'
207 restorecon -R -v /srv/mympd_content
208
209 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
210 match multiple files.
211
212 The following file types are defined for mpd:
213
214
215
216 mpd_data_t
217
218 - Set files with the mpd_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as
219 mpd content.
220
221
222 Paths:
223 /var/lib/mpd/music(/.*)?, /var/lib/mpd/playlists(/.*)?
224
225
226 mpd_etc_t
227
228 - Set files with the mpd_etc_t type, if you want to store mpd files in
229 the /etc directories.
230
231
232
233 mpd_exec_t
234
235 - Set files with the mpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
236 cutable to the mpd_t domain.
237
238
239
240 mpd_home_t
241
242 - Set files with the mpd_home_t type, if you want to store mpd files in
243 the users home directory.
244
245
246
247 mpd_initrc_exec_t
248
249 - Set files with the mpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
250 an executable to the mpd_initrc_t domain.
251
252
253
254 mpd_log_t
255
256 - Set files with the mpd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
257 mpd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
258
259
260
261 mpd_tmp_t
262
263 - Set files with the mpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store mpd temporary
264 files in the /tmp directories.
265
266
267
268 mpd_tmpfs_t
269
270 - Set files with the mpd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store mpd files
271 on a tmpfs file system.
272
273
274
275 mpd_user_data_t
276
277 - Set files with the mpd_user_data_t type, if you want to treat the
278 files as mpd user content.
279
280
281
282 mpd_var_lib_t
283
284 - Set files with the mpd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the mpd
285 files under the /var/lib directory.
286
287
288
289 mpd_var_run_t
290
291 - Set files with the mpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the mpd
292 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
293
294
295
296 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
297 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
298 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
299 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
300
301
303 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
304 mappings.
305
306 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
307 process type is permissive.
308
309 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
310 icy modules.
311
312 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
313
314 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
315
316
317 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
318 icy settings.
