6 dhcpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dhcpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dhcpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The dhcpd processes execute with the dhcpd_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 dhcpd_t
19
20
21
23 The dhcpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dhcpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the dhcpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/dhcpd(6)?, /usr/sbin/dhcrelay(6)?
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 dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dhcpd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for dhcpd:
40
41 dhcpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a dhcpd_t can be used to make the process
44 type dhcpd_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. dhcpd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run dhcpd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to determine whether DHCP daemon can use LDAP backends, you
57 must turn on the dhcpd_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P dhcpd_use_ldap 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

71 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
72
73 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
74 command:
75
76 semanage port -l
77
78
79 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
80 SELinux dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
81 dhcpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
82
83 The following port types are defined for dhcpd:
84
85
86 dhcpd_port_t
87
88
89
90 Default Defined Ports:
91 tcp 547,548,647,847,7911
92 udp 67,547,548,647,847
93
95 The SELinux process type dhcpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
96 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 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 dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
170 dhcpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174 SELinux defines the file context types for the dhcpd, if you wanted to
175 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
176 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
177 storecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -t dhcpd_var_run_t '/srv/mydhcpd_content(/.*)?'
180 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydhcpd_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 dhcpd:
186
187
188
189 dhcpd_exec_t
190
191 - Set files with the dhcpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
192 executable to the dhcpd_t domain.
193
194
195 Paths:
196 /usr/sbin/dhcpd(6)?, /usr/sbin/dhcrelay(6)?
197
198
199 dhcpd_initrc_exec_t
200
201 - Set files with the dhcpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
202 tion an executable to the dhcpd_initrc_t domain.
203
204
205 Paths:
206 /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd(6)?, /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcrelay(6)?
207
208
209 dhcpd_state_t
210
211 - Set files with the dhcpd_state_t type, if you want to treat the files
212 as dhcpd state data.
213
214
215 Paths:
216 /var/lib/dhcp(3)?/dhcpd.leases.*, /var/lib/dhcpd(/.*)?
217
218
219 dhcpd_tmp_t
220
221 - Set files with the dhcpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store dhcpd tem‐
222 porary files in the /tmp directories.
223
224
225
226 dhcpd_unit_file_t
227
228 - Set files with the dhcpd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
229 files as dhcpd unit content.
230
231
232 Paths:
233 /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.*,
234 /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd6.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcre‐
235 lay.*
236
237
238 dhcpd_var_run_t
239
240 - Set files with the dhcpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
241 dhcpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
242
243
244
245 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
246 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
247 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
248 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
249
250
252 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
253 mappings.
254
255 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
256 process type is permissive.
257
258 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
259 icy modules.
260
261 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
262
263 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
264
265
266 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
267 icy settings.
