6 vdagent_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the vdagent pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the vdagent processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The vdagent processes execute with the vdagent_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep vdagent_t
20
21
22
24 The vdagent_t SELinux type can be entered via the vdagent_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the vdagent_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd
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 vdagent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their vdagent
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for vdagent:
43
44 vdagent_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a vdagent_t can be used to make the process
47 type vdagent_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. vdagent
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run vdagent with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
68 The SELinux process type vdagent_t can manage files labeled with the
69 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
70 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

118 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
119 type.
120
121 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
122
123 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
124 SELinux vdagent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
125 vdagent processes in as secure a method as possible.
126
127 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
128
129
130 vdagent policy stores data with multiple different file context types
131 under the /var/log/spice-vdagentd directory. If you would like to
132 store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage com‐
133 mand to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this
134 data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:
135
136 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/spice-vdagentd /srv/spice-vdagentd
137 restorecon -R -v /srv/spice-vdagentd
138
139 vdagent policy stores data with multiple different file context types
140 under the /var/run/spice-vdagentd directory. If you would like to
141 store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage com‐
142 mand to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this
143 data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:
144
145 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/spice-vdagentd /srv/spice-vdagentd
146 restorecon -R -v /srv/spice-vdagentd
147
148 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
149
150 SELinux defines the file context types for the vdagent, if you wanted
151 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
152 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
153 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
154
155 semanage fcontext -a -t vdagent_log_t '/srv/myvdagent_content(/.*)?'
156 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvdagent_content
157
158 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
159 match multiple files.
160
161 The following file types are defined for vdagent:
162
163
164
165 vdagent_exec_t
166
167 - Set files with the vdagent_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
168 executable to the vdagent_t domain.
169
170
171
172 vdagent_log_t
173
174 - Set files with the vdagent_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
175 as vdagent log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
176
177
178 Paths:
179 /var/log/spice-vdagentd(/.*)?, /var/log/spice-vdagentd.log.*
180
181
182 vdagent_var_run_t
183
184 - Set files with the vdagent_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
185 vdagent files under the /run or /var/run directory.
186
187
188 Paths:
189 /var/run/spice-vdagentd(/.*)?, /var/run/spice-vdagentd.pid
190
191
192 vdagentd_initrc_exec_t
193
194 - Set files with the vdagentd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
195 sition an executable to the vdagentd_initrc_t domain.
196
197
198
199 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
200 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
201 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
202 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
203
204
206 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
207 mappings.
208
209 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
210 process type is permissive.
211
212 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
213 icy modules.
214
215 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
216
217
218 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
219 icy settings.
