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 qemu-ga read all non-security file types, you must
61 turn on the virt_qemu_ga_read_nonsecurity_files boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63
64 setsebool -P virt_qemu_ga_read_nonsecurity_files 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
76 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow qemu-ga to read qemu-ga date, you must turn on the
83 virt_read_qemu_ga_data boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P virt_read_qemu_ga_data 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow qemu-ga to manage qemu-ga date, you must turn on
90 the virt_rw_qemu_ga_data boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P virt_rw_qemu_ga_data 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type virt_qemu_ga_t can manage files labeled with
98 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
99 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
100 missions.

169 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
170 type.
171
172 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
173
174 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
175 SELinux virt_qemu_ga policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
176 their virt_qemu_ga processes in as secure a method as possible.
177
178 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
179
180
181 virt_qemu_ga policy stores data with multiple different file context
182 types under the /var/log/qemu-ga directory. If you would like to store
183 the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to
184 create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under
185 the /srv directory you would execute the following command:
186
187 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/qemu-ga /srv/qemu-ga
188 restorecon -R -v /srv/qemu-ga
189
190 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
191
192 SELinux defines the file context types for the virt_qemu_ga, if you
193 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
194 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
195 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
196
197 semanage fcontext -a -t virt_qemu_ga_data_t '/srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_con‐
198 tent(/.*)?'
199 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirt_qemu_ga_content
200
201 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
202 match multiple files.
203
204 The following file types are defined for virt_qemu_ga:
205
206
207
208 virt_qemu_ga_data_t
209
210 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_data_t type, if you want to treat the
211 files as virt qemu ga content.
212
213
214
215 virt_qemu_ga_exec_t
216
217 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
218 tion an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_t domain.
219
220
221 Paths:
222 /usr/libexec/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /usr/bin/qemu-ga
223
224
225 virt_qemu_ga_log_t
226
227 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_log_t type, if you want to treat the
228 data as virt qemu ga log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
229 tory.
230
231
232 Paths:
233 /var/log/qemu-ga(/.*)?, /var/log/qemu-ga.log.*
234
235
236 virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t
237
238 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_tmp_t type, if you want to store virt
239 qemu ga temporary files in the /tmp directories.
240
241
242
243 virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t
244
245 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want
246 to transition an executable to the virt_qemu_ga_unconfined_t domain.
247
248
249 Paths:
250 /etc/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?, /var/run/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-
251 hook.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/qemu-ga/fsfreeze-hook.d(/.*)?
252
253
254 virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t
255
256 - Set files with the virt_qemu_ga_var_run_t type, if you want to store
257 the virt qemu ga files under the /run or /var/run directory.
258
259
260 Paths:
261 /var/run/qga.state, /var/run/qemu-ga.pid
262
263
264 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
265 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
266 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
267 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
268
269
271 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
272 mappings.
273
274 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
275 process type is permissive.
276
277 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
278 icy modules.
279
280 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
281
282
283 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
284 icy settings.
