6 virtd_lxc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtd_lxc
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virtd_lxc processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virtd_lxc processes execute with the virtd_lxc_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 virtd_lxc_t
20
21
22
24 The virtd_lxc_t SELinux type can be entered via the mountpoint,
25 exec_type file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virtd_lxc_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30
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 virtd_lxc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 virtd_lxc processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virtd_lxc:
43
44 virtd_lxc_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a virtd_lxc_t can be used to make the
47 process type virtd_lxc_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 virtd_lxc policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run virtd_lxc with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
61 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
62 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
63 ean. Enabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to control the ability to mmap a low area of the address
70 space, as configured by /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, you must turn on
71 the mmap_low_allowed boolean. Disabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P mmap_low_allowed 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to disable kernel module loading, you must turn on the
78 secure_mode_insmod boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P secure_mode_insmod 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their heap memory
85 executable. Doing this is a really bad idea. Probably indicates a
86 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
87 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selin‐
88 uxuser_execheap boolean. Disabled by default.
89
90 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execheap 1
91
92
93
94 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
95 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
96 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
97 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
98 stack boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
101
102
103
104 If you want to allow virtual processes to run as userdomains, you must
105 turn on the virt_transition_userdomain boolean. Disabled by default.
106
107 setsebool -P virt_transition_userdomain 1
108
109
110
112 The SELinux process type virtd_lxc_t can manage files labeled with the
113 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
114 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
115
116 file_type
117
118 all files on the system
119
120
122 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
123 type.
124
125 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
126
127 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
128 SELinux virtd_lxc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
129 virtd_lxc processes in as secure a method as possible.
130
131 The following file types are defined for virtd_lxc:
132
133
134
135 virtd_lxc_exec_t
136
137 - Set files with the virtd_lxc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
138 an executable to the virtd_lxc_t domain.
139
140
141
142 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
143 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
144 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
145 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
146
147
149 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
150 mappings.
151
152 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
153 process type is permissive.
154
155 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
156 icy modules.
157
158 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
159
160
161 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
162 icy settings.
