NAME

6       virt_bridgehelper_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy for the
7       virt_bridgehelper processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  virt_bridgehelper  processes  via
11       flexible mandatory access control.
12
13       The  virt_bridgehelper  processes  execute with the virt_bridgehelper_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep virt_bridgehelper_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   virt_bridgehelper_t   SELinux   type   can  be  entered  via  the
25       virt_bridgehelper_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the virt_bridgehelper_t domain are the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper
31

PROCESS TYPES

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_bridgehelper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       virt_bridgehelper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for virt_bridgehelper:
43
44       virt_bridgehelper_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a virt_bridgehelper_t can be  used  to  make
47       the  process type virt_bridgehelper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
48       access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)  mes‐
49       sages are still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       virt_bridgehelper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55       that  allow you to manipulate the policy and run virt_bridgehelper with
56       the tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
61       you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
64
65
66
67       If  you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
68       turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load  modules,  you
75       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
76       default.
77
78       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
83       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
86
87
88
89       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
90       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type virt_bridgehelper_t can manage  files  labeled
98       with  the following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths
99       for these file types.  Note the processes UID still need  to  have  DAC
100       permissions.
101
102       initrc_tmp_t
103
104
105       mnt_t
106
107            /mnt(/[^/]*)
108            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
109            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
110            /media(/[^/]*)
111            /media(/[^/]*)?
112            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
113            /media/.hal-.*
114            /net
115            /afs
116            /rhev
117            /misc
118
119       tmp_t
120
121            /tmp
122            /usr/tmp
123            /var/tmp
124            /tmp-inst
125            /var/tmp-inst
126            /var/tmp/vi.recover

FILE CONTEXTS

130       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
131       type.
132
133       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
134
135       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
136       SELinux  virt_bridgehelper  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to
137       setup their virt_bridgehelper processes in as secure a method as possi‐
138       ble.
139
140       The following file types are defined for virt_bridgehelper:
141
142
143
144       virt_bridgehelper_exec_t
145
146       -  Set  files  with  the  virt_bridgehelper_exec_t type, if you want to
147       transition an executable to the virt_bridgehelper_t domain.
148
149
150
151       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
152       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
153       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
154       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
155
156

COMMANDS

158       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
159       mappings.
160
161       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
162       process type is permissive.
163
164       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
165       icy modules.
166
167       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
168
169
170       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
171       icy settings.
