6 redis_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the redis processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the redis processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The redis processes execute with the redis_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 redis_t
19
20
21
23 The redis_t SELinux type can be entered via the redis_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the redis_t domain are the following:
26
27 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
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 redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their redis pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for redis:
40
41 redis_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a redis_t can be used to make the process
44 type redis_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. redis
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run redis with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow Redis to run redis-sentinal notification scripts,
57 you must turn on the redis_enable_notify boolean. Disabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P redis_enable_notify 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 confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
79 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 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 redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their re‐
96 dis processes in as secure a method as possible.
97
98 The following port types are defined for redis:
99
100
101 redis_port_t
102
103
104
105 Default Defined Ports:
106 tcp 6379,16379,26379
107
109 The SELinux process type redis_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
110 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
111 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

179 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
180 type.
181
182 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
183
184 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
185 SELinux redis policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their re‐
186 dis processes in as secure a method as possible.
187
188 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
189
190 SELinux defines the file context types for the redis, if you wanted to
191 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
192 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
193 storecon to put the labels on disk.
194
195 semanage fcontext -a -t redis_exec_t '/srv/redis/content(/.*)?'
196 restorecon -R -v /srv/myredis_content
197
198 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
199 match multiple files.
200
201 The following file types are defined for redis:
202
203
204
205 redis_conf_t
206
207 - Set files with the redis_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
208 as redis configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
209
210
211 Paths:
212 /etc/redis(/.*)?, /etc/redis-sentinel.*
213
214
215 redis_exec_t
216
217 - Set files with the redis_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
218 executable to the redis_t domain.
219
220
221 Paths:
222 /var/opt/rh/rh-redis32/redis(/.*)?, /usr/bin/redis-server
223
224
225 redis_initrc_exec_t
226
227 - Set files with the redis_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
228 tion an executable to the redis_initrc_t domain.
229
230
231
232 redis_log_t
233
234 - Set files with the redis_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
235 redis log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
236
237
238
239 redis_tmp_t
240
241 - Set files with the redis_tmp_t type, if you want to store redis tem‐
242 porary files in the /tmp directories.
243
244
245
246 redis_unit_file_t
247
248 - Set files with the redis_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
249 files as redis unit content.
250
251
252
253 redis_var_lib_t
254
255 - Set files with the redis_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the re‐
256 dis files under the /var/lib directory.
257
258
259
260 redis_var_run_t
261
262 - Set files with the redis_var_run_t type, if you want to store the re‐
263 dis files under the /run or /var/run directory.
264
265
266
267 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
268 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
269 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
270 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
271
272
274 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
275 mappings.
276
277 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
278 process type is permissive.
279
280 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
281 icy modules.
282
283 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
284
285 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
286
287
288 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
289 icy settings.
