6 svirt_socket_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 svirt_socket processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svirt_socket processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The svirt_socket processes execute with the svirt_socket_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_socket_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_socket policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
31 svirt_socket processes in as secure a method as possible.
32
33 The following process types are defined for svirt_socket:
34
35 svirt_socket_t
36
37 Note: semanage permissive -a svirt_socket_t can be used to make the
38 process type svirt_socket_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
39 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
40 still generated.
41
42
44 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
45 svirt_socket policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
46 allow you to manipulate the policy and run svirt_socket with the tight‐
47 est access possible.

51 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
52 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
53
54 setsebool -P fips_mode 1

57
59 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
60 mappings.
61
62 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
63 process type is permissive.
64
65 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
66 icy modules.
67
68 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
69
70
71 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
72 icy settings.
