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 dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
64 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
65 Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
72 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
79 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
82
83
84
86 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
87
88 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
89 command:
90
91 semanage port -l
92
93
94 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
95 SELinux dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
96 dhcpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
97
98 The following port types are defined for dhcpd:
99
100
101 dhcpd_port_t
102
103
104
105 Default Defined Ports:
106 tcp 547,548,647,847,7911
107 udp 67,547,548,647,847
108
110 The SELinux process type dhcpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
111 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
112 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

178 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179 type.
180
181 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
184 SELinux dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
185 dhcpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
188
189 SELinux defines the file context types for the dhcpd, if you wanted to
190 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
191 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
192 storecon to put the labels on disk.
193
194 semanage fcontext -a -t dhcpd_exec_t '/srv/dhcpd/content(/.*)?'
195 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydhcpd_content
196
197 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
198 match multiple files.
199
200 The following file types are defined for dhcpd:
201
202
203
204 dhcpd_exec_t
205
206 - Set files with the dhcpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
207 executable to the dhcpd_t domain.
208
209
210 Paths:
211 /usr/sbin/dhcpd(6)?, /usr/sbin/dhcrelay(6)?
212
213
214 dhcpd_initrc_exec_t
215
216 - Set files with the dhcpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
217 tion an executable to the dhcpd_initrc_t domain.
218
219
220 Paths:
221 /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcpd(6)?, /etc/rc.d/init.d/dhcrelay(6)?
222
223
224 dhcpd_state_t
225
226 - Set files with the dhcpd_state_t type, if you want to treat the files
227 as dhcpd state data.
228
229
230 Paths:
231 /var/lib/dhcp(3)?/dhcpd.leases.*, /var/lib/dhcpd(/.*)?
232
233
234 dhcpd_tmp_t
235
236 - Set files with the dhcpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store dhcpd tem‐
237 porary files in the /tmp directories.
238
239
240
241 dhcpd_unit_file_t
242
243 - Set files with the dhcpd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
244 files as dhcpd unit content.
245
246
247 Paths:
248 /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.*,
249 /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd6.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcre‐
250 lay.*
251
252
253 dhcpd_var_run_t
254
255 - Set files with the dhcpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
256 dhcpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
257
258
259
260 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
261 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
262 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
263 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
264
265
267 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
268 mappings.
269
270 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
271 process type is permissive.
272
273 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
274 icy modules.
275
276 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
277
278 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
279
280
281 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
282 icy settings.
