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.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type hypervkvp_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

175 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
176 type.
177
178 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
179
180 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
181 SELinux hypervkvp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
182 hypervkvp processes in as secure a method as possible.
183
184 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
185
186 SELinux defines the file context types for the hypervkvp, if you wanted
187 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
188 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
189 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
190
191 semanage fcontext -a -t hypervkvp_tmp_t '/srv/myhypervkvp_con‐
192 tent(/.*)?'
193 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhypervkvp_content
194
195 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
196 match multiple files.
197
198 The following file types are defined for hypervkvp:
199
200
201
202 hypervkvp_exec_t
203
204 - Set files with the hypervkvp_exec_t type, if you want to transition
205 an executable to the hypervkvp_t domain.
206
207
208 Paths:
209 /usr/sbin/hypervkvpd, /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
210
211
212 hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
215 sition an executable to the hypervkvp_initrc_t domain.
216
217
218
219 hypervkvp_tmp_t
220
221 - Set files with the hypervkvp_tmp_t type, if you want to store hyper‐
222 vkvp temporary files in the /tmp directories.
223
224
225
226 hypervkvp_unit_file_t
227
228 - Set files with the hypervkvp_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
229 the files as hypervkvp unit content.
230
231
232
233 hypervkvp_var_lib_t
234
235 - Set files with the hypervkvp_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
236 hypervkvp files under the /var/lib directory.
237
238
239
240 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
241 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
242 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
243 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
244
245
247 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
248 mappings.
249
250 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
251 process type is permissive.
252
253 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
254 icy modules.
255
256 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
257
258
259 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
260 icy settings.
