NAME

6       svirt_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the svirt processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svirt processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The svirt processes execute with the  svirt_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep svirt_t
19

21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The svirt_t SELinux type can be entered via the qemu_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the svirt_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/libexec/qemu.*,      /usr/bin/qemu-system-.*,       /usr/bin/qemu,
28       /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
29

PROCESS TYPES

31       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
32       system
33
34       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
35
36       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
37       svirt  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their svirt pro‐
38       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
39
40       The following process types are defined for svirt:
41
42       svirt_t, svirt_tcg_t, svirt_qemu_net_t, svirt_socket_t, svirt_kvm_net_t
43
44       Note: semanage permissive -a svirt_t can be used to  make  the  process
45       type  svirt_t  permissive.  SELinux  does not deny access to permissive
46       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
47       ated.

MCS Constrained

51       The  SELinux  process  type svirt_t is an MCS (Multi Category Security)
52       constrained type.  Sometimes this separation is referred to  as  sVirt.
53       These  types  are  usually used for securing multi-tenant environments,
54       such as virtualization, containers or separation of users.   The  tools
55       used  to  launch  MCS  types,  pick  out a different MCS label for each
56       process group.
57
58       For example one process might be launched  with  svirt_t:s0:c1,c2,  and
59       another process launched with svirt_t:s0:c3,c4. The SELinux kernel only
60       allows these processes can only write to content with  a  matching  MCS
61       label,  or  a  MCS Label of s0. A process running with the MCS level of
62       s0:c1,c2 is not allowed to write to  content  with  the  MCS  label  of
63       s0:c3,c4
64
65

BOOLEANS

67       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  svirt
68       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
69       manipulate the policy and run svirt with the tightest access possible.
70
71
72
73       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
74       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
75
76       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
77
78
79
80       If you want to allow confined virtual guests to use  executable  memory
81       and  executable  stack,  you must turn on the virt_use_execmem boolean.
82       Disabled by default.
83
84       setsebool -P virt_use_execmem 1
85
86
87
88       If you want to allow confined virtual guests  to  interact  with  rawip
89       sockets,  you  must  turn  on  the  virt_use_rawip boolean. Disabled by
90       default.
91
92       setsebool -P virt_use_rawip 1

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type svirt_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
98       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
99       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

165       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
166       type.
167
168       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
169
170       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
171       SELinux svirt policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
172       svirt processes in as secure a method as possible.
173
174       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
175
176       SELinux  defines the file context types for the svirt, if you wanted to
177       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
178       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
179       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
180
181       semanage fcontext -a -t svirt_home_t '/srv/mysvirt_content(/.*)?'
182       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysvirt_content
183
184       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
185       match multiple files.
186
187       The following file types are defined for svirt:
188
189
190
191       svirt_home_t
192
193       -  Set  files  with  the  svirt_home_t type, if you want to store svirt
194       files in the users home directory.
195
196
197       Paths:
198            /home/[^/]+/.libvirt/qemu(/.*)?,           /home/[^/]+/.cache/lib‐
199            virt/qemu(/.*)?,           /home/[^/]+/.config/libvirt/qemu(/.*)?,
200            /home/[^/]+/.local/share/libvirt/boot(/.*)?,
201            /home/[^/]+/.local/share/libvirt/images(/.*)?,
202            /home/[^/]+/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images(/.*)?
203
204
205       svirt_image_t
206
207       - Set files with the svirt_image_t type, if you want to treat the files
208       as svirt image data.
209
210
211
212       svirt_tmp_t
213
214       -  Set files with the svirt_tmp_t type, if you want to store svirt tem‐
215       porary files in the /tmp directories.
216
217
218
219       svirt_tmpfs_t
220
221       - Set files with the svirt_tmpfs_t type, if you  want  to  store  svirt
222       files on a tmpfs file system.
223
224
225
226       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
227       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
228       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
229       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
230
231

COMMANDS

233       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
234       mappings.
235
236       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
237       process type is permissive.
238
239       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
240       icy modules.
241
242       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
243
244
245       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
246       icy settings.
