6 svirt_kvm_net_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 svirt_kvm_net processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svirt_kvm_net processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The svirt_kvm_net processes execute with the svirt_kvm_net_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 svirt_kvm_net_t
20
21
22
24 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
25 system
26
27 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
28
29 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
30 svirt_kvm_net policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
31 svirt_kvm_net processes in as secure a method as possible.
32
33 The following process types are defined for svirt_kvm_net:
34
35 svirt_kvm_net_t
36
37 Note: semanage permissive -a svirt_kvm_net_t can be used to make the
38 process type svirt_kvm_net_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
39 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
40 still generated.
41
42
44 The SELinux process type svirt_kvm_net_t is an MCS (Multi Category Se‐
45 curity) constrained type. Sometimes this separation is referred to as
46 sVirt. These types are usually used for securing multi-tenant environ‐
47 ments, such as virtualization, containers or separation of users. The
48 tools used to launch MCS types, pick out a different MCS label for each
49 process group.
50
51 For example one process might be launched with
52 svirt_kvm_net_t:s0:c1,c2, and another process launched with
53 svirt_kvm_net_t:s0:c3,c4. The SELinux kernel only allows these pro‐
54 cesses can only write to content with a matching MCS label, or a MCS
55 Label of s0. A process running with the MCS level of s0:c1,c2 is not
56 allowed to write to content with the MCS label of s0:c3,c4
57

60 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
61 svirt_kvm_net policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
62 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run svirt_kvm_net with the
63 tightest access possible.
64
65
66
67 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
68 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by de‐
69 fault.
70
71 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow sandbox containers to send audit messages, you
76 must turn on the virt_sandbox_use_audit boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P virt_sandbox_use_audit 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow sandbox containers to use netlink system calls,
83 you must turn on the virt_sandbox_use_netlink boolean. Disabled by de‐
84 fault.
85
86 setsebool -P virt_sandbox_use_netlink 1

91 The SELinux process type svirt_kvm_net_t can manage files labeled with
92 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
93 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
94 missions.

140 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
141 mappings.
142
143 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
144 process type is permissive.
145
146 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
147 icy modules.
148
149 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
150
151
152 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
153 icy settings.
