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/hypervkvpd, /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.

172 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
173 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

247 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
248 type.
249
250 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
251
252 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
253 SELinux hypervkvp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
254 hypervkvp processes in as secure a method as possible.
255
256 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
257
258 SELinux defines the file context types for the hypervkvp, if you wanted
259 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
260 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
261 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
262
263 semanage fcontext -a -t hypervkvp_var_lib_t '/srv/myhypervkvp_con‐
264 tent(/.*)?'
265 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhypervkvp_content
266
267 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
268 match multiple files.
269
270 The following file types are defined for hypervkvp:
271
272
273
274 hypervkvp_exec_t
275
276 - Set files with the hypervkvp_exec_t type, if you want to transition
277 an executable to the hypervkvp_t domain.
278
279
280 Paths:
281 /usr/sbin/hypervkvpd, /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
282
283
284 hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t
285
286 - Set files with the hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
287 sition an executable to the hypervkvp_initrc_t domain.
288
289
290
291 hypervkvp_tmp_t
292
293 - Set files with the hypervkvp_tmp_t type, if you want to store hyper‐
294 vkvp temporary files in the /tmp directories.
295
296
297
298 hypervkvp_unit_file_t
299
300 - Set files with the hypervkvp_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
301 the files as hypervkvp unit content.
302
303
304
305 hypervkvp_var_lib_t
306
307 - Set files with the hypervkvp_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
308 hypervkvp files under the /var/lib directory.
309
310
311
312 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
313 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
314 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
315 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
316
317
319 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
320 mappings.
321
322 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
323 process type is permissive.
324
325 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
326 icy modules.
327
328 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
329
330
331 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
332 icy settings.
