6 xenstored_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the xenstored
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the xenstored processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The xenstored processes execute with the xenstored_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 xenstored_t
20
21
22
24 The xenstored_t SELinux type can be entered via the xenstored_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the xenstored_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/xenstored, /usr/sbin/oxenstored, /etc/xen/scripts/launch-xen‐
31 store
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 xenstored policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their xen‐
41 stored processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for xenstored:
44
45 xenstored_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a xenstored_t can be used to make the
48 process type xenstored_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. xen‐
55 stored policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run xenstored with the tightest access
57 possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
69 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72
73
74
76 The SELinux process type xenstored_t can manage files labeled with the
77 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
78 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

151 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
152 type.
153
154 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
155
156 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
157 SELinux xenstored policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
158 xenstored processes in as secure a method as possible.
159
160 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
161
162 SELinux defines the file context types for the xenstored, if you wanted
163 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
164 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
165 storecon to put the labels on disk.
166
167 semanage fcontext -a -t xenstored_var_run_t '/srv/myxenstored_con‐
168 tent(/.*)?'
169 restorecon -R -v /srv/myxenstored_content
170
171 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
172 match multiple files.
173
174 The following file types are defined for xenstored:
175
176
177
178 xenstored_exec_t
179
180 - Set files with the xenstored_exec_t type, if you want to transition
181 an executable to the xenstored_t domain.
182
183
184 Paths:
185 /usr/sbin/xenstored, /usr/sbin/oxenstored,
186 /etc/xen/scripts/launch-xenstore
187
188
189 xenstored_tmp_t
190
191 - Set files with the xenstored_tmp_t type, if you want to store xen‐
192 stored temporary files in the /tmp directories.
193
194
195
196 xenstored_var_lib_t
197
198 - Set files with the xenstored_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
199 xenstored files under the /var/lib directory.
200
201
202
203 xenstored_var_log_t
204
205 - Set files with the xenstored_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
206 data as xenstored var log data, usually stored under the /var/log di‐
207 rectory.
208
209
210
211 xenstored_var_run_t
212
213 - Set files with the xenstored_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
214 xenstored files under the /run or /var/run directory.
215
216
217 Paths:
218 /var/run/xenstored(/.*)?, /var/run/xenstore.pid
219
220
221 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
222 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
223 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
224 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
225
226
228 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
229 mappings.
230
231 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
232 process type is permissive.
233
234 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
235 icy modules.
236
237 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
238
239
240 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
241 icy settings.
