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 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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep hypervkvp_t
20
24 The hypervkvp_t SELinux type can be entered via the hypervkvp_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the hypervkvp_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/hypervkvpd, /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 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 The following process types are defined for hypervkvp:
43 hypervkvp_t
45 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
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 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
75 The SELinux process type hypervkvp_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

133 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
134 type.
135 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
137 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
139 SELinux hypervkvp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
140 hypervkvp processes in as secure a method as possible.
141 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
143 SELinux defines the file context types for the hypervkvp, if you wanted
145 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
146 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
147 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
148 semanage fcontext -a -t hypervkvp_tmp_t '/srv/myhypervkvp_con‐
150 tent(/.*)?'
151 restorecon -R -v /srv/myhypervkvp_content
152 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
154 match multiple files.
155 The following file types are defined for hypervkvp:
157 hypervkvp_exec_t
161 - Set files with the hypervkvp_exec_t type, if you want to transition
163 an executable to the hypervkvp_t domain.
164 Paths:
167 /usr/sbin/hypervkvpd, /usr/sbin/hv_kvp_daemon
168 hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t
171 - Set files with the hypervkvp_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
173 sition an executable to the hypervkvp_initrc_t domain.
174 hypervkvp_tmp_t
178 - Set files with the hypervkvp_tmp_t type, if you want to store hyper‐
180 vkvp temporary files in the /tmp directories.
181 hypervkvp_unit_file_t
185 - Set files with the hypervkvp_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
187 the files as hypervkvp unit content.
188 hypervkvp_var_lib_t
192 - Set files with the hypervkvp_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
194 hypervkvp files under the /var/lib directory.
195 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
199 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
200 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
201 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
202
205 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
206 mappings.
207 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
209 process type is permissive.
210 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
212 icy modules.
213 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
215 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
218 icy settings.
