6 redis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the redis processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the redis processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The redis processes execute with the redis_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 redis_t
19
20
21
23 The redis_t SELinux type can be entered via the redis_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the redis_t domain are the following:
26
27 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
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 redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their redis pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for redis:
40
41 redis_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a redis_t can be used to make the process
44 type redis_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. redis
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run redis with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow Redis to run redis-sentinal notification scripts,
57 you must turn on the redis_enable_notify boolean. Disabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P redis_enable_notify 1
60
61
62
63 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
64 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
67
68
69
70 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
71 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
74
75
76
78 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
79
80 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
81 command:
82
83 semanage port -l
84
85
86 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
87 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their re‐
88 dis processes in as secure a method as possible.
89
90 The following port types are defined for redis:
91
92
93 redis_port_t
94
95
96
97 Default Defined Ports:
98 tcp 6379,16379,26379
99
101 The SELinux process type redis_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
102 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
103 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

171 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
172 type.
173
174 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
175
176 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
177 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their re‐
178 dis processes in as secure a method as possible.
179
180 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
181
182 SELinux defines the file context types for the redis, if you wanted to
183 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
184 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
185 storecon to put the labels on disk.
186
187 semanage fcontext -a -t redis_unit_file_t '/srv/myredis_content(/.*)?'
188 restorecon -R -v /srv/myredis_content
189
190 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
191 match multiple files.
192
193 The following file types are defined for redis:
194
195
196
197 redis_conf_t
198
199 - Set files with the redis_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
200 as redis configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
201
202
203 Paths:
204 /etc/redis(/.*)?, /etc/redis-sentinel.*
205
206
207 redis_exec_t
208
209 - Set files with the redis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
210 executable to the redis_t domain.
211
212
213 Paths:
214 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
215
216
217 redis_initrc_exec_t
218
219 - Set files with the redis_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
220 tion an executable to the redis_initrc_t domain.
221
222
223
224 redis_log_t
225
226 - Set files with the redis_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
227 redis log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
228
229
230
231 redis_tmp_t
232
233 - Set files with the redis_tmp_t type, if you want to store redis tem‐
234 porary files in the /tmp directories.
235
236
237
238 redis_unit_file_t
239
240 - Set files with the redis_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
241 files as redis unit content.
242
243
244
245 redis_var_lib_t
246
247 - Set files with the redis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the re‐
248 dis files under the /var/lib directory.
249
250
251
252 redis_var_run_t
253
254 - Set files with the redis_var_run_t type, if you want to store the re‐
255 dis files under the /run or /var/run directory.
256
257
258
259 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
260 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
261 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
262 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
263
264
266 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
267 mappings.
268
269 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
270 process type is permissive.
271
272 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
273 icy modules.
274
275 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
276
277 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
278
279
280 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
281 icy settings.
