6 virt_qemu_ga_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 virt_qemu_ga processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virt_qemu_ga processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virt_qemu_ga processes execute with the virt_qemu_ga_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep virt_qemu_ga_t
20
21
22
24 The virt_qemu_ga_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virt_qemu_ga_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
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 virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
43
44 virt_qemu_ga_t, virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a virt_qemu_ga_t can be used to make the
47 process type virt_qemu_ga_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 virt_qemu_ga policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run virt_qemu_ga with the tight‐
56 est access possible.

260 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
261 type.
262
263 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
264
265 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
266 SELinux virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
267 their virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
268
269 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
270
271
272 virt_qemu_ga policy stores data with multiple different file context
273 types under the /var/log/qemu-ga directory. If you would like to store
274 the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to
275 create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under
276 the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
277
278 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/qemu-ga /srv/qemu-ga
279 restorecon -R -v /srv/qemu-ga
280
281 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
282
283 SELinux defines the file context types for the virt_qemu_ga, if you
284 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
285 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
286 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
287
288 semanage fcontext -a -t virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
289 '/srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content(/.*)?'
290 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content
291
292 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
293 match multiple files.
294
295 The following file types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
296
297
298
299 virt_qemu_ga_data_t
300
301 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_data_t type, if you want to treat the
302 files as virt qemu ga content.
303
304
305
306 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t
307
308 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
309 tion an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_t domain.
310
311
312 Paths:
313 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
314
315
316 virt_qemu_ga_log_t
317
318 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_log_t type, if you want to treat the
319 data as virt qemu ga log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
320 tory.
321
322
323 Paths:
324 /var/log/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /var/log/qemu-ga.log.*
325
326
327 virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t
328
329 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t type, if you want to store virt
330 qemu ga temporary files in the /tmp directories.
331
332
333
334 virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t
335
336 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want
337 to transition an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t domain.
338
339
340 Paths:
341 /etc/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?, /var/run/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-
342 hook.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?
343
344
345 virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
346
347 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t type, if you want to store
348 the virt qemu ga files under the /run or /var/run directory.
349
350
351 Paths:
352 /var/run/qga.state, /var/run/qemu-ga.pid
353
354
355 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
356 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
357 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
358 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
359
360
362 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
363 mappings.
364
365 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
366 process type is permissive.
367
368 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
369 icy modules.
370
371 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
372
373
374 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
375 icy settings.
