6 mongod_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mongod pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mongod processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The mongod processes execute with the mongod_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep mongod_t
20
21
22
24 The mongod_t SELinux type can be entered via the mongod_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the mongod_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/bin/mongos, /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
30 /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 mongod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mongod
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for mongod:
43
44 mongod_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a mongod_t can be used to make the process
47 type mongod_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mongod
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run mongod with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
60 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
63
64
65
67 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
68
69 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
70 command:
71
72 semanage port -l
73
74
75 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
76 SELinux mongod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
77 mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
78
79 The following port types are defined for mongod:
80
81
82 mongod_port_t
83
84
85
86 Default Defined Ports:
87 tcp 27017-27019,28017-28019
88
90 The SELinux process type mongod_t can manage files labeled with the
91 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
92 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

163 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164 type.
165
166 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167
168 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
169 SELinux mongod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
170 mongod processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174 SELinux defines the file context types for the mongod, if you wanted to
175 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
176 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
177 storecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -t mongod_tmp_t '/srv/mymongod_content(/.*)?'
180 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymongod_content
181
182 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
183 match multiple files.
184
185 The following file types are defined for mongod:
186
187
188
189 mongod_exec_t
190
191 - Set files with the mongod_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
192 executable to the mongod_t domain.
193
194
195 Paths:
196 /usr/bin/mongod, /usr/bin/mongos, /usr/libexec/mongodb-scl-helper,
197 /usr/share/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic/dbomatic
198
199
200 mongod_initrc_exec_t
201
202 - Set files with the mongod_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
203 tion an executable to the mongod_initrc_t domain.
204
205
206 Paths:
207 /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongod, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mongos
208
209
210 mongod_log_t
211
212 - Set files with the mongod_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
213 as mongod log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
214
215
216 Paths:
217 /var/log/mongo.*, /var/log/aeolus-conductor/dbomatic.log.*
218
219
220 mongod_tmp_t
221
222 - Set files with the mongod_tmp_t type, if you want to store mongod
223 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
224
225
226
227 mongod_unit_file_t
228
229 - Set files with the mongod_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
230 files as mongod unit content.
231
232
233 Paths:
234 /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongod.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/mongos.*
235
236
237 mongod_var_lib_t
238
239 - Set files with the mongod_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
240 mongod files under the /var/lib directory.
241
242
243
244 mongod_var_run_t
245
246 - Set files with the mongod_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
247 mongod files under the /run or /var/run directory.
248
249
250 Paths:
251 /var/run/mongo.*, /var/run/aeolus/dbomatic.pid
252
253
254 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
255 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
256 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
257 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
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.
