6 awstats_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the awstats pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the awstats processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The awstats processes execute with the awstats_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep awstats_t
20
21
22
24 The awstats_t SELinux type can be entered via the awstats_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the awstats_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/share/awstats/tools/.+.pl
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their awstats
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for awstats:
43
44 awstats_t, awstats_script_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a awstats_t can be used to make the process
47 type awstats_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. awstats
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run awstats with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether awstats can purge httpd log files, you
61 must turn on the awstats_purge_apache_log_files boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63
64 setsebool -P awstats_purge_apache_log_files 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
76 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
79
80
81
83 The SELinux process type awstats_t can manage files labeled with the
84 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
85 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
86
87 awstats_tmp_t
88
89
90 awstats_var_lib_t
91
92 /var/lib/awstats(/.*)?
93
94
96 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
97 type.
98
99 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
100
101 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
102 SELinux awstats policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
103 awstats processes in as secure a method as possible.
104
105 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
106
107 SELinux defines the file context types for the awstats, if you wanted
108 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
109 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
110 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
111
112 semanage fcontext -a -t awstats_exec_t '/srv/awstats/content(/.*)?'
113 restorecon -R -v /srv/myawstats_content
114
115 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
116 match multiple files.
117
118 The following file types are defined for awstats:
119
120
121
122 awstats_content_t
123
124 - Set files with the awstats_content_t type, if you want to treat the
125 files as awstats content.
126
127
128
129 awstats_exec_t
130
131 - Set files with the awstats_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
132 executable to the awstats_t domain.
133
134
135
136 awstats_htaccess_t
137
138 - Set files with the awstats_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the
139 file as a awstats access file.
140
141
142
143 awstats_ra_content_t
144
145 - Set files with the awstats_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat
146 the files as awstats read/append content.
147
148
149
150 awstats_rw_content_t
151
152 - Set files with the awstats_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat
153 the files as awstats read/write content.
154
155
156
157 awstats_script_exec_t
158
159 - Set files with the awstats_script_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
160 tion an executable to the awstats_script_t domain.
161
162
163
164 awstats_tmp_t
165
166 - Set files with the awstats_tmp_t type, if you want to store awstats
167 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
168
169
170
171 awstats_var_lib_t
172
173 - Set files with the awstats_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
174 awstats files under the /var/lib directory.
175
176
177
178 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
179 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
180 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
181 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
182
183
185 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
186 mappings.
187
188 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
189 process type is permissive.
190
191 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
192 icy modules.
193
194 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
195
196
197 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
198 icy settings.
