6 virtlogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtlogd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virtlogd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virtlogd processes execute with the virtlogd_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 virtlogd_t
20
21
22
24 The virtlogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the virtlogd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virtlogd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
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 virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their virtlogd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virtlogd:
43
44 virtlogd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a virtlogd_t can be used to make the process
47 type virtlogd_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. virt‐
54 logd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run virtlogd with the tightest access
56 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 virtlockd read and lock block devices, you must
75 turn on the virt_lockd_blk_devs boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P virt_lockd_blk_devs 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage nfs files, you
82 must turn on the virt_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
85
86
87
89 The SELinux process type virtlogd_t can manage files labeled with the
90 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
91 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

156 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
157 type.
158
159 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
160
161 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
162 SELinux virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
163 virtlogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
164
165 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
166
167 SELinux defines the file context types for the virtlogd, if you wanted
168 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
169 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
170 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
171
172 semanage fcontext -a -t virtlogd_unit_file_t '/srv/myvirtlogd_con‐
173 tent(/.*)?'
174 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirtlogd_content
175
176 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
177 match multiple files.
178
179 The following file types are defined for virtlogd:
180
181
182
183 virtlogd_etc_t
184
185 - Set files with the virtlogd_etc_t type, if you want to store virtlogd
186 files in the /etc directories.
187
188
189
190 virtlogd_exec_t
191
192 - Set files with the virtlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
193 executable to the virtlogd_t domain.
194
195
196 Paths:
197 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
198
199
200 virtlogd_initrc_exec_t
201
202 - Set files with the virtlogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
203 sition an executable to the virtlogd_initrc_t domain.
204
205
206
207 virtlogd_unit_file_t
208
209 - Set files with the virtlogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
210 the files as virtlogd unit content.
211
212
213
214 virtlogd_var_run_t
215
216 - Set files with the virtlogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
217 virtlogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
218
219
220 Paths:
221 /var/run/virtlogd.pid, /var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock
222
223
224 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
225 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
226 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
227 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
228
229
231 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
232 mappings.
233
234 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
235 process type is permissive.
236
237 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
238 icy modules.
239
240 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
241
242
243 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
244 icy settings.
