6 snmpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the snmpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the snmpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The snmpd processes execute with the snmpd_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 snmpd_t
19
20
21
23 The snmpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the snmpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the snmpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
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 snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their snmpd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for snmpd:
40
41 snmpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a snmpd_t can be used to make the process
44 type snmpd_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. snmpd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run snmpd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
64 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
65
66 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
67 command:
68
69 semanage port -l
70
71
72 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
73 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sn‐
74 mpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
75
76 The following port types are defined for snmpd:
77
78
79 snmp_port_t
80
81
82
83 Default Defined Ports:
84 tcp 199,1161,161-162,10161-10162
85 udp 161-162,10161-10162
86
88 The SELinux process type snmpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
89 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
90 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

164 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
165 type.
166
167 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
168
169 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
170 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sn‐
171 mpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
172
173 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
174
175
176 snmpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
177 der the /var/run/snmpd directory. If you would like to store the data
178 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
179 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
180 directory you would execute the following command:
181
182 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/snmpd /srv/snmpd
183 restorecon -R -v /srv/snmpd
184
185 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186
187 SELinux defines the file context types for the snmpd, if you wanted to
188 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
189 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
190 storecon to put the labels on disk.
191
192 semanage fcontext -a -t snmpd_var_lib_t '/srv/mysnmpd_content(/.*)?'
193 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysnmpd_content
194
195 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
196 match multiple files.
197
198 The following file types are defined for snmpd:
199
200
201
202 snmpd_exec_t
203
204 - Set files with the snmpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
205 executable to the snmpd_t domain.
206
207
208 Paths:
209 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
210
211
212 snmpd_initrc_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the snmpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
215 tion an executable to the snmpd_initrc_t domain.
216
217
218
219 snmpd_log_t
220
221 - Set files with the snmpd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
222 snmpd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
223
224
225
226 snmpd_var_lib_t
227
228 - Set files with the snmpd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the sn‐
229 mpd files under the /var/lib directory.
230
231
232 Paths:
233 /var/agentx(/.*)?, /var/net-snmp(/.*), /var/lib/snmp(/.*)?,
234 /var/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/lib/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/spool/sn‐
235 mptt(/.*)?, /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index
236
237
238 snmpd_var_run_t
239
240 - Set files with the snmpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the sn‐
241 mpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
242
243
244 Paths:
245 /var/run/snmpd(/.*)?, /var/run/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/run/snmpd.pid
246
247
248 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
249 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
250 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
251 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
252
253
255 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
256 mappings.
257
258 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
259 process type is permissive.
260
261 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
262 icy modules.
263
264 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
265
266 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
267
268
269 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
270 icy settings.
