6 fail2ban_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the fail2ban pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fail2ban processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The fail2ban processes execute with the fail2ban_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep fail2ban_t
20
21
22
24 The fail2ban_t SELinux type can be entered via the fail2ban_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the fail2ban_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/fail2ban, /usr/bin/fail2ban-server
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 fail2ban policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fail2ban
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for fail2ban:
43
44 fail2ban_t, fail2ban_client_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a fail2ban_t can be used to make the process
47 type fail2ban_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.
54 fail2ban policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that al‐
55 low you to manipulate the policy and run fail2ban with the tightest ac‐
56 cess possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
61 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
62 Enabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
76 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
79

81
83 The SELinux process type fail2ban_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.

146 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
147 type.
148
149 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
150
151 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
152 SELinux fail2ban policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
153 fail2ban processes in as secure a method as possible.
154
155 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
156
157 SELinux defines the file context types for the fail2ban, if you wanted
158 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
159 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
160 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
161
162 semanage fcontext -a -t fail2ban_exec_t '/srv/fail2ban/content(/.*)?'
163 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfail2ban_content
164
165 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
166 match multiple files.
167
168 The following file types are defined for fail2ban:
169
170
171
172 fail2ban_client_exec_t
173
174 - Set files with the fail2ban_client_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
175 sition an executable to the fail2ban_client_t domain.
176
177
178
179 fail2ban_exec_t
180
181 - Set files with the fail2ban_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
182 executable to the fail2ban_t domain.
183
184
185 Paths:
186 /usr/bin/fail2ban, /usr/bin/fail2ban-server
187
188
189 fail2ban_initrc_exec_t
190
191 - Set files with the fail2ban_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
192 sition an executable to the fail2ban_initrc_t domain.
193
194
195
196 fail2ban_log_t
197
198 - Set files with the fail2ban_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
199 as fail2ban log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
200
201
202
203 fail2ban_tmp_t
204
205 - Set files with the fail2ban_tmp_t type, if you want to store fail2ban
206 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
207
208
209
210 fail2ban_var_lib_t
211
212 - Set files with the fail2ban_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
213 fail2ban files under the /var/lib directory.
214
215
216
217 fail2ban_var_run_t
218
219 - Set files with the fail2ban_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
220 fail2ban files under the /run or /var/run directory.
221
222
223
224 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
225 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
226 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
227 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
228
229
231 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
232 mappings.
233
234 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
235 process type is permissive.
236
237 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
238 icy modules.
239
240 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
241
242
243 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
244 icy settings.
