6 svirt_tcg_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the svirt_tcg
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svirt_tcg processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The svirt_tcg processes execute with the svirt_tcg_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 svirt_tcg_t
20
21
22
24 The svirt_tcg_t SELinux type can be entered via the qemu_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the svirt_tcg_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/qemu.*, /usr/bin/qemu-system-.*, /usr/bin/qemu,
31 /usr/bin/qemu-kvm
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 svirt_tcg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 svirt_tcg processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for svirt_tcg:
44
45 svirt_tcg_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a svirt_tcg_t can be used to make the
48 process type svirt_tcg_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 The SELinux process type svirt_tcg_t is an MCS (Multi Category Secu‐
55 rity) constrained type. Sometimes this separation is referred to as
56 sVirt. These types are usually used for securing multi-tenant environ‐
57 ments, such as virtualization, containers or separation of users. The
58 tools used to launch MCS types, pick out a different MCS label for each
59 process group.
60
61 For example one process might be launched with svirt_tcg_t:s0:c1,c2,
62 and another process launched with svirt_tcg_t:s0:c3,c4. The SELinux
63 kernel only allows these processes can only write to content with a
64 matching MCS label, or a MCS Label of s0. A process running with the
65 MCS level of s0:c1,c2 is not allowed to write to content with the MCS
66 label of s0:c3,c4
67
68
70 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
71 svirt_tcg policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
72 allow you to manipulate the policy and run svirt_tcg with the tightest
73 access possible.
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
78 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to use executable memory
85 and executable stack, you must turn on the virt_use_execmem boolean.
86 Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P virt_use_execmem 1
89
90
91
92 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to interact with rawip
93 sockets, you must turn on the virt_use_rawip boolean. Disabled by
94 default.
95
96 setsebool -P virt_use_rawip 1

101 The SELinux process type svirt_tcg_t can manage files labeled with the
102 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
103 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

169 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
170 mappings.

172 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
173 process type is permissive.

176 icy modules.
