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.

177 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
178 type.
179
180 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
181
182 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
183 SELinux virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
184 virtlogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
185
186 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
187
188 SELinux defines the file context types for the virtlogd, if you wanted
189 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
190 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
191 storecon to put the labels on disk.
192
193 semanage fcontext -a -t virtlogd_unit_file_t '/srv/myvirtlogd_con‐
194 tent(/.*)?'
195 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirtlogd_content
196
197 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
198 match multiple files.
199
200 The following file types are defined for virtlogd:
201
202
203
204 virtlogd_etc_t
205
206 - Set files with the virtlogd_etc_t type, if you want to store virtlogd
207 files in the /etc directories.
208
209
210
211 virtlogd_exec_t
212
213 - Set files with the virtlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
214 executable to the virtlogd_t domain.
215
216
217 Paths:
218 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
219
220
221 virtlogd_initrc_exec_t
222
223 - Set files with the virtlogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
224 sition an executable to the virtlogd_initrc_t domain.
225
226
227
228 virtlogd_unit_file_t
229
230 - Set files with the virtlogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
231 the files as virtlogd unit content.
232
233
234
235 virtlogd_var_run_t
236
237 - Set files with the virtlogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
238 virtlogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
239
240
241 Paths:
242 /var/run/virtlogd.pid, /var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock
243
244
245 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
246 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
247 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
248 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
249
250
252 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
253 mappings.
254
255 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
256 process type is permissive.
257
258 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
259 icy modules.
260
261 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
262
263
264 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
265 icy settings.
