Custom SNMP scripts
 

Hi,

Is there recommended way of setting up custom SNMP (net-snmp) scripts used for monitoring the status of software or hardware RAID, Web site hits, etc.? I created a special directory for them - /usr/local/snmp/bin/, and then let sealert and audit2allow tell me what to do. My snmpScripts.te on a server with software RAID looks like this:


module snmpScripts 1.0;

require {
type snmpd_t;
type proc_mdstat_t;
type usr_t;
class file { ioctl execute read open getattr execute_no_trans };
}

#============= snmpd_t ==============

Is there a better or more secure way of doing this?

I would probably label /usr/local/snmp/bin/ and anything below type
bin_t. This will atleast stop snmpd_t from executing generic usr files.

Example;

semanage fcontext -a -t bin_t "/usr/local/snmp/bin(/.*)?"
restorecon -R -v /usr/local/snmp/bin

Besides that i guess you would need to allow snmpd_t to
read /proc/mdstat files but you can use audit2allow for that as you did
below.

Thanks, I like it. My snmpScripts.te looks simpler now:

module snmpScripts 1.0;

require {
type snmpd_t;
type proc_mdstat_t;
class file { read ioctl open getattr };
}

#============= snmpd_t ==============
allow snmpd_t proc_mdstat_t:file { read ioctl open getattr };

I notice that I failed to include all of my previous snmpScripts.te. Two allow lines at the bottom were missing - one for usr_t as you mentioned above and the one shown here for proc_mdstat_t.
