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

143 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these

192 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
193 type.
194
195 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
196
197 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
198 SELinux vdagent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
199 vdagent processes in as secure a method as possible.

201 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
202
203
204 vdagent policy stores data with multiple different file context types
205 under the /var/run/spice-vdagentd directory. If you would like to
206 store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage com‐
207 mand to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this
208 data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
209
210 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/spice-vdagentd /srv/spice-vdagentd
211 restorecon -R -v /srv/spice-vdagentd
212
213 vdagent policy stores data with multiple different file context types
214 under the /var/log/spice-vdagentd directory. If you would like to
215 store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage com‐
216 mand to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this
217 data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
218
219 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/spice-vdagentd /srv/spice-vdagentd
220 restorecon -R -v /srv/spice-vdagentd
221
222 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
223
224 SELinux defines the file context types for the vdagent, if you wanted
225 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
226 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
227 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
228
229 semanage fcontext -a -t vdagent_var_run_t '/srv/myvdagent_con‐
230 tent(/.*)?'
231 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvdagent_content
232
233 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
234 match multiple files.
235
236 The following file types are defined for vdagent:
237
238
239
240 vdagent_exec_t
241
242 - Set files with the vdagent_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
243 executable to the vdagent_t domain.
244
245
246
247 vdagent_log_t
248
249 - Set files with the vdagent_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
250 as vdagent log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
251
252
253 Paths:
254 /var/log/spice-vdagentd(/.*)?, /var/log/spice-vdagentd.log.*
255
256
257 vdagent_var_run_t
258
259 - Set files with the vdagent_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
260 vdagent files under the /run or /var/run directory.
261
262
263 Paths:
264 /var/run/spice-vdagentd(/.*)?, /var/run/spice-vdagentd.pid
265
266
267 vdagentd_initrc_exec_t
268
269 - Set files with the vdagentd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
270 sition an executable to the vdagentd_initrc_t domain.
271
272
273
274 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
275 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
276 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
277 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
278
279
281 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
282 mappings.
283
284 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
285 process type is permissive.
286
287 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
288 icy modules.
289
290 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
291
292
293 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
294 icy settings.
