6 hypervkvp_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hypervkvp
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hypervkvp processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The hypervkvp processes execute with the hypervkvp_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep hypervkvp_t
20
21
22
24 The hypervkvp_t SELinux type can be entered via the hypervkvp_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the hypervkvp_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
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 hypervkvp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their hyper‐
40 vkvp processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for hypervkvp:
43
44 hypervkvp_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a hypervkvp_t can be used to make the
47 process type hypervkvp_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. hyper‐
54 vkvp policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run hypervkvp with the tightest access
56 possible.

140 The SELinux process type hypervkvp_t can manage files labeled with the
141 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
142 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

228 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
229 type.
230
231 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
232
233 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
234 SELinux hypervkvp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
235 hypervkvp processes in as secure a method as possible.
236
237 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
238
239 SELinux defines the file context types for the hypervkvp, if you wanted
240 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
241 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
242 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
243
244 semanage fcontext -a -t hypervkvp_var_lib_t '/srv/myhypervkvp_con‐
245 tent(/.*)?'
246 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhypervkvp_content
247
248 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
249 match multiple files.
250
251 The following file types are defined for hypervkvp:
252
253
254
255 hypervkvp_exec_t
256
257 - Set files with the hypervkvp_exec_t type, if you want to transition
258 an executable to the hypervkvp_t domain.
259
260
261
262 hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t
263
264 - Set files with the hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
265 sition an executable to the hypervkvp_initrc_t domain.
266
267
268
269 hypervkvp_tmp_t
270
271 - Set files with the hypervkvp_tmp_t type, if you want to store hyper‐
272 vkvp temporary files in the /tmp directories.
273
274
275
276 hypervkvp_var_lib_t
277
278 - Set files with the hypervkvp_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
279 hypervkvp files under the /var/lib directory.
280
281
282
283 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
284 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
285 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
286 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
287
288
290 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
291 mappings.
292
293 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
294 process type is permissive.
295
296 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
297 icy modules.
298
299 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
300
301
302 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
303 icy settings.
