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 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 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep httpd_t
19
23 The httpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_t domain are the following:
26 /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 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 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 The following process types are defined for httpd:
44 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 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
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.

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

707 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
708 type.
709 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
711 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
713 SELinux httpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
714 httpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
715 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
717 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
720 der the /var/lib/php directory. If you would like to store the data in
721 a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
722 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
723 directory you would execute the following command:
724 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/php /srv/php
726 restorecon -R -v /srv/php
727 httpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
729 der the /var/www directory. If you would like to store the data in a
730 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 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /srv/www
735 restorecon -R -v /srv/www
736 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
738 SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd, if you wanted to
740 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
741 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
742 storecon to put the labels on disk.
743 semanage fcontext -a -t httpd_var_run_t '/srv/myhttpd_content(/.*)?'
745 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_content
746 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
748 match multiple files.
749 The following file types are defined for httpd:
751 httpd_cache_t
755 - Set files with the httpd_cache_t type, if you want to store the files
757 under the /var/cache directory.
758 Paths:
761 /var/cache/rt(3|4)(/.*)?, /var/cache/ssl.*.sem, /var/cache/mod_.*,
762 /var/cache/php-.*, /var/cache/httpd(/.*)?, /var/cache/mason(/.*)?,
763 /var/cache/nginx(/.*)?, /var/cache/mod_ssl(/.*)?,
764 /var/cache/lighttpd(/.*)?, /var/cache/mediawiki(/.*)?,
765 /var/cache/mod_proxy(/.*)?, /var/cache/mod_gnutls(/.*)?,
766 /var/cache/php-mmcache(/.*)?, /var/cache/php-eaccelerator(/.*)?
767 httpd_config_t
770 - Set files with the httpd_config_t type, if you want to treat the
772 files as httpd configuration data, usually stored under the /etc direc‐
773 tory.
774 Paths:
777 /etc/httpd(/.*)?, /etc/nginx(/.*)?, /etc/apache(2)?(/.*)?,
778 /etc/cherokee(/.*)?, /etc/lighttpd(/.*)?, /etc/apache-

780 nginx18/nginx(/.*)?, /var/lib/stickshift/.httpd.d(/.*)?,
781 /etc/vhosts, /etc/thttpd.conf
782 httpd_exec_t
785 - Set files with the httpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an

1093 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
1096 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
1097 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
1098 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
1099
1102 If you want to share files with multiple domains (Apache, FTP, rsync,
1103 Samba), you can set a file context of public_content_t and public_con‐
1104 tent_rw_t. These context allow any of the above domains to read the
1105 content. If you want a particular domain to write to the public_con‐
1106 tent_rw_t domain, you must set the appropriate boolean.
1107 Allow httpd servers to read the /var/httpd directory by adding the pub‐
1109 lic_content_t file type to the directory and by restoring the file
1110 type.
1111 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/var/httpd(/.*)?"
1113 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd
1114 Allow httpd servers to read and write /var/httpd/incoming by adding the
1116 public_content_rw_t type to the directory and by restoring the file
1117 type. You also need to turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1118 semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_rw_t "/var/httpd/incoming(/.*)?"
1120 restorecon -F -R -v /var/httpd/incoming
1121 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1122 If you want to allow Apache to modify public files used for public file
1125 transfer services. Directories/Files must be labeled public_con‐
1126 tent_rw_t., you must turn on the httpd_anon_write boolean.
1127 setsebool -P httpd_anon_write 1
1129
1132 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
1133 mappings.
1134 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
1136 process type is permissive.
1137 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
1139 icy modules.
1140 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
1142 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
1144 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
1147 icy settings.
