6 virt_qemu_ga_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 virt_qemu_ga processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virt_qemu_ga processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virt_qemu_ga processes execute with the virt_qemu_ga_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep virt_qemu_ga_t
20
21
22
24 The virt_qemu_ga_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virt_qemu_ga_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
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 virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
43
44 virt_qemu_ga_t, virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a virt_qemu_ga_t can be used to make the
47 process type virt_qemu_ga_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.
54 virt_qemu_ga policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run virt_qemu_ga with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57
58
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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow qemu-ga to read qemu-ga date, you must turn on the
75 virt_read_qemu_ga_data boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P virt_read_qemu_ga_data 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to allow qemu-ga to manage qemu-ga date, you must turn on
82 the virt_rw_qemu_ga_data boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P virt_rw_qemu_ga_data 1
85
86
87
89 The SELinux process type virt_qemu_ga_t can manage files labeled with
90 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
91 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
92 missions.

161 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
162 type.
163
164 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
165
166 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
167 SELinux virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
168 their virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
169
170 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
171
172
173 virt_qemu_ga policy stores data with multiple different file context
174 types under the /var/log/qemu-ga directory. If you would like to store
175 the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to
176 create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under
177 the /srv directory you would execute the following command:
178
179 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/qemu-ga /srv/qemu-ga
180 restorecon -R -v /srv/qemu-ga
181
182 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
183
184 SELinux defines the file context types for the virt_qemu_ga, if you
185 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
186 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
187 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
188
189 semanage fcontext -a -t virt_qemu_ga_data_t '/srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_con‐
190 tent(/.*)?'
191 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content
192
193 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
194 match multiple files.
195
196 The following file types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
197
198
199
200 virt_qemu_ga_data_t
201
202 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_data_t type, if you want to treat the
203 files as virt qemu ga content.
204
205
206
207 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t
208
209 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
210 tion an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_t domain.
211
212
213 Paths:
214 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
215
216
217 virt_qemu_ga_log_t
218
219 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_log_t type, if you want to treat the
220 data as virt qemu ga log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
221 tory.
222
223
224 Paths:
225 /var/log/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /var/log/qemu-ga.log.*
226
227
228 virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t
229
230 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t type, if you want to store virt
231 qemu ga temporary files in the /tmp directories.
232
233
234
235 virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t
236
237 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want
238 to transition an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t domain.
239
240
241 Paths:
242 /etc/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?, /var/run/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-
243 hook.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?
244
245
246 virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
247
248 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t type, if you want to store
249 the virt qemu ga files under the /run or /var/run directory.
250
251
252 Paths:
253 /var/run/qga.state, /var/run/qemu-ga.pid
254
255
256 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
257 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
258 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
259 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
260
261
263 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
264 mappings.
265
266 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
267 process type is permissive.
268
269 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
270 icy modules.
271
272 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
273
274
275 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
276 icy settings.
