6 httpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the httpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The httpd processes execute with the httpd_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 httpd_t
19
20
21
23 The httpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/httpd(.worker)?, /usr/sbin/apache(2)?, /usr/lib/apache-
28 ssl/.+, /usr/sbin/apache-ssl(2)?, /usr/sbin/nginx, /usr/sbin/thttpd,
29 /usr/sbin/php-fpm, /usr/sbin/cherokee, /usr/sbin/lighttpd,
30 /usr/sbin/apachectl, /usr/sbin/httpd.event, /usr/bin/mongrel_rails,
31 /usr/sbin/htcacheclean
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for httpd:
44
45 httpd_t, httpd_helper_t, httpd_php_t, httpd_rotatelogs_t, httpd_suexec_t, httpd_sys_script_t, httpd_user_script_t, httpd_passwd_t, httpd_unconfined_script_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_t can be used to make the process
48 type httpd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. httpd
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run httpd with the tightest access possible.

375 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
376
377 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
378 command:
379
380 semanage port -l
381
382
383 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
384 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
385 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
386
387 The following port types are defined for httpd:
388
389
390 http_cache_port_t
391
392
393
394 Default Defined Ports:
395 tcp 8080,8118,8123,10001-10010
396 udp 3130
397
398
399 http_port_t
400
401
402
403 Default Defined Ports:
404 tcp 80,81,443,488,8008,8009,8443,9000
405
407 The SELinux process type httpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
408 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
409 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

716 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
717 type.
718
719 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
720
721 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
722 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
723 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
724
725 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
726
727
728 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
729 der the /var/lib/php directory. If you would like to store the data in
730 a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
731 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
732 directory you would execute the following command:
733
734 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/php /srv/php
735 restorecon -R -v /srv/php
736
737 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
738 der the /var/www directory. If you would like to store the data in a
739 different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
740 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
741 directory you would execute the following command:
742
743 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /srv/www
744 restorecon -R -v /srv/www
745
746 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
747
748 SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd, if you wanted to
749 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
750 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
751 storecon to put the labels on disk.
752
753 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_run_t '/srv/myhttpd_content(/.*)?'
754 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_content
755
756 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
757 match multiple files.
758

1102
1103
1104 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
1105 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
1106 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
1107 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
1108
1109
1111 If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
1112 Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
1113 tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
1114 content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
1115 tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
1116
1117 Allow httpd servers to read the /var/httpd directory by adding the pub‐
1118 lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file
1119 type.
1120
1121 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/httpd(/.*)?"
1122 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd
1123
1124 Allow httpd servers to read and write /var/httpd/incoming by adding the
1125 public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
1126 type. You also need to turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1127
1128 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/httpd/incoming(/.*)?"
1129 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd/incoming
1130 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1131
1132
1133 If you want to allow Apache to modify public files used for public file
1134 transfer services. Directories/Files must be labeled public_con‐
1135 tent_rw_t., you must turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1136
1137 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1138
1139
1141 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
1142 mappings.
1143
1144 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
1145 process type is permissive.
1146
1147 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
1148 icy modules.
1149
1150 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
1151
1152 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
1153

1155 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
1156 icy settings.
