6 xenconsoled_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the xencon‐
7 soled processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the xenconsoled processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The xenconsoled processes execute with the xenconsoled_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep xenconsoled_t
20
24 The xenconsoled_t SELinux type can be entered via the xencon‐
25 soled_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the xenconsoled_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/sbin/xenconsoled
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 xenconsoled policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their xen‐
40 consoled processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for xenconsoled:
43 xenconsoled_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a xenconsoled_t can be used to make the
47 process type xenconsoled_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. xencon‐
54 soled policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run xenconsoled with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
61 on the allow_daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

98 setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
100 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
104 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
105 default.
106 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
108 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
112 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
113 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
115 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
119 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
120 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
122 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
126 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
127 setsebool -P init_upstart 1

133 The SELinux process type xenconsoled_t can manage files labeled with
134 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
135 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
136 missions.

215 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
216 type.
217 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
219 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
221 SELinux xenconsoled policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
222 their xenconsoled processes in as secure a method as possible.
223 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
225 SELinux defines the file context types for the xenconsoled, if you
227 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
228 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
229 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
230 semanage fcontext -a -t xenconsoled_var_run_t '/srv/myxenconsoled_con‐
232 tent(/.*)?'
233 restorecon -R -v /srv/myxenconsoled_content
234 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
236 match multiple files.
237 The following file types are defined for xenconsoled:
239 xenconsoled_exec_t
243 - Set files with the xenconsoled_exec_t type, if you want to transition
245 an executable to the xenconsoled_t domain.
246 xenconsoled_var_run_t
250 - Set files with the xenconsoled_var_run_t type, if you want to store
252 the xenconsoled files under the /run or /var/run directory.
253 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
257 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
258 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
259 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
260
263 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
264 mappings.
265 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
267 process type is permissive.
268 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
270 icy modules.
271 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
273 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
276 icy settings.
