6 virtd_lxc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtd_lxc
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virtd_lxc processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virtd_lxc processes execute with the virtd_lxc_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 virtd_lxc_t
20
21
22
24 The virtd_lxc_t SELinux type can be entered via the virtd_lxc_exec_t,
25 file_type, unlabeled_t, proc_type, filesystem_type, mtrr_device_t,
26 sysctl_type file types.
27
28 The default entrypoint paths for the virtd_lxc_t domain are the follow‐
29 ing:
30
31 /usr/libexec/libvirt_lxc, all files on the system, /dev/cpu/mtrr
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 virtd_lxc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 virtd_lxc processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for virtd_lxc:
44
45 virtd_lxc_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a virtd_lxc_t can be used to make the
48 process type virtd_lxc_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 virtd_lxc policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run virtd_lxc with the tightest
57 access possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
62 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
63 default.
64
65 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
66
67
68

70 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
77 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
78 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
79 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the allow_execheap
80 boolean. Disabled by default.
81
82 setsebool -P allow_execheap 1
83
84
85
86 If you want to allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as
87 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
88 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execmem
89 boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91 setsebool -P allow_execmem 1
92
93
94
95 If you want to allow all unconfined executables to use libraries
96 requiring text relocation that are not labeled textrel_shlib_t), you
97 must turn on the allow_execmod boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P allow_execmod 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
104 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
105 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
106 should be reported in bugzilla), you must turn on the allow_execstack
107 boolean. Enabled by default.
108
109 setsebool -P allow_execstack 1
110
111
112
113 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
114 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
115
116 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
117
118
119
120 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
121 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
122
123 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
124
125
126
127 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
128 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
129
130 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
131
132
133
134 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
135 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
136 default.
137
138 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
139
140
141
142 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
143 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
144
145 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
146
147
148
149 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
150 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
151
152 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
153
154
155
156 If you want to allow certain domains to map low memory in the kernel,
157 you must turn on the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
158
159 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
160
161
162
163 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
164 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
165

167
168
169
170 If you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits loading
171 policy, setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values. Set this
172 to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you must turn on the
173 secure_mode_policyload boolean. Disabled by default.
174
175 setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1
176
177
178
179 If you want to support X userspace object manager, you must turn on the
180 xserver_object_manager boolean. Disabled by default.
181
182 setsebool -P xserver_object_manager 1
183
184
185
187 The SELinux process type virtd_lxc_t can manage files labeled with the
188 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
189 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
190
191 file_type
192
193 all files on the system
194
195
197 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
198 type.
199
200 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
201
202 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
203 SELinux virtd_lxc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
204 virtd_lxc processes in as secure a method as possible.
205
206 The following file types are defined for virtd_lxc:
207
208
209
210 virtd_lxc_exec_t
211
212 - Set files with the virtd_lxc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
213 an executable to the virtd_lxc_t domain.
214
215
216
217 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
218 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
219 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
220 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
221
222
224 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
225 mappings.
226
227 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
228 process type is permissive.
229
230 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
231 icy modules.
232
233 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
234
235
236 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
237 icy settings.
