# 15.9. The MAC portacl Module

Module name: `mac_portacl.ko`

Kernel configuration line: `MAC_PORTACL`

Boot option: `mac_portacl_load="YES"`

The mac_portacl(4) module is used to limit binding to local TCP and UDP ports using a variety of `sysctl` variables. In essence mac_portacl(4) makes it possible to allow non-`root` users to bind to specified privileged ports, i.e. ports fewer than 1024.

Once loaded, this module will enable the MAC policy on all sockets. The following tunables are available:

- `security.mac.portacl.enabled` will enable/disable the policy completely.[1]

- `security.mac.portacl.port_high` will set the highest port number that mac_portacl(4) will enable protection for.

- `security.mac.portacl.suser_exempt` will, when set to a non-zero value, exempt the `root` user from this policy.

- `security.mac.portacl.rules` will specify the actual mac_portacl policy; see below.

The actual `mac_portacl` policy, as specified in the `security.mac.portacl.rules` sysctl, is a text string of the form: `rule[,rule,...]` with as many rules as needed. Each rule is of the form: `idtype:id:protocol:port`. The `idtype` parameter can be `uid` or `gid` and used to interpret the `id` parameter as either a user id or group id, respectively. The `protocol` parameter is used to determine if the rule should apply to TCP or UDP by setting the parameter to `tcp` or `udp`. The final `port` parameter is the port number to allow the specified user or group to bind to.

> Notatka: Since the ruleset is interpreted directly by the kernel only numeric values can be used for the user ID, group ID, and port parameters. I.e. user, group, and port service names cannot be used.

By default, on UNIX®-like systems, ports fewer than 1024 can only be used by/bound to privileged processes, i.e. those run as `root`. For mac_portacl(4) to allow non-privileged processes to bind to ports below 1024 this standard UNIX restriction has to be disabled. This can be accomplished by setting the sysctl(8) variables `net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow` and `net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh` to zero.

See the examples below or review the mac_portacl(4) manual page for further information.

## 15.9.1. Examples

The following examples should illuminate the above discussion a little better:

    # sysctl security.mac.portacl.port_high=1023
    # sysctl net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedlow=0 net.inet.ip.portrange.reservedhigh=0

First we set mac_portacl(4) to cover the standard privileged ports and disable the normal UNIX bind restrictions.

    # sysctl security.mac.portacl.suser_exempt=1

The `root` user should not be crippled by this policy, thus set the `security.mac.portacl.suser_exempt` to a non-zero value. The mac_portacl(4) module has now been set up to behave the same way UNIX-like systems behave by default.

    # sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules=uid:80:tcp:80

Allow the user with UID 80 (normally the `www` user) to bind to port 80. This can be used to allow the `www` user to run a web server without ever having `root` privilege.

    # sysctl security.mac.portacl.rules=uid:1001:tcp:110,uid:1001:tcp:995

Permit the user with the UID of 1001 to bind to the TCP ports 110 (“pop3”) and 995 (“pop3s”). This will permit this user to start a server that accepts connections on ports 110 and 995.

### Przypisy

[1] | Due to a bug the `security.mac.portacl.enabled` `sysctl` variable will not work on FreeBSD 5.2.1 or previous releases.
