7 cesses

10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the qemu_dm processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The qemu_dm processes execute with the qemu_dm_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep qemu_dm_t
20
21
22
24 The qemu_dm_t SELinux type can be entered via the qemu_dm_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the qemu_dm_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:

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 qemu_dm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their qemu_dm
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for qemu_dm:
43
44 qemu_dm_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a qemu_dm_t can be used to make the process
47 type qemu_dm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. qemu_dm
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run qemu_dm with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.

59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow xend to run qemu-dm. Not required if using par‐
68 avirt and no vfb, you must turn on the xend_run_qemu boolean. Enabled
69 by default.
70
71 setsebool -P xend_run_qemu 1

73
74
76 The SELinux process type qemu_dm_t can manage files labeled with the
77 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
78 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

83
85 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
86 mappings.
87
88 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
89 process type is permissive.
90
91 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
92 icy modules.
93
94 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
95
96
97 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
98 icy settings.
