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_unconfined_t, virt_qemu_ga_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.
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
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type virt_qemu_ga_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.

167 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
168 type.
169
170 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
171
172 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
173 SELinux virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
174 their virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
175
176 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
177
178
179 virt_qemu_ga policy stores data with multiple different file context
180 types under the /var/log/qemu-ga directory. If you would like to store
181 the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to
182 create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under
183 the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
184
185 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/qemu-ga /srv/qemu-ga
186 restorecon -R -v /srv/qemu-ga
187
188 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
189
190 SELinux defines the file context types for the virt_qemu_ga, if you
191 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
192 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
193 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
194
195 semanage fcontext -a -t virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
196 '/srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content(/.*)?'
197 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content
198
199 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
200 match multiple files.
201
202 The following file types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
203
204
205
206 virt_qemu_ga_data_t
207
208 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_data_t type, if you want to treat the
209 files as virt qemu ga content.
210
211
212
213 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t
214
215 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
216 tion an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_t domain.
217
218
219 Paths:
220 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
221
222
223 virt_qemu_ga_log_t
224
225 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_log_t type, if you want to treat the
226 data as virt qemu ga log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
227 tory.
228
229
230 Paths:
231 /var/log/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /var/log/qemu-ga.*.log.*
232
233
234 virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t
235
236 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want
237 to transition an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t domain.
238
239
240 Paths:
241 /etc/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?, /var/run/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-
242 hook.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?
243
244
245 virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
246
247 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t type, if you want to store
248 the virt qemu ga files under the /run or /var/run directory.
249
250
251
252 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
253 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
254 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
255 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
256
257
259 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
260 mappings.
261
262 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
263 process type is permissive.
264
265 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
266 icy modules.
267
268 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
269
270
271 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
272 icy settings.
