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.

60
61 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
62 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
63 Enabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
77 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type xenstored_t can manage files labeled with the
85 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

159 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
160 type.
161
162 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
163
164 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
165 SELinux xenstored policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
166 xenstored processes in as secure a method as possible.
167
168 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
169
170 SELinux defines the file context types for the xenstored, if you wanted
171 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
172 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
173 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
174
175 semanage fcontext -a -t xenstored_exec_t '/srv/xenstored/content(/.*)?'
176 restorecon -R -v /srv/myxenstored_content
177
178 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
179 match multiple files.
180
181 The following file types are defined for xenstored:
182
183
184
185 xenstored_exec_t
186
187 - Set files with the xenstored_exec_t type, if you want to transition
188 an executable to the xenstored_t domain.
189
190
191 Paths:
192 /usr/sbin/xenstored, /usr/sbin/oxenstored,
193 /etc/xen/scripts/launch-xenstore
194
195
196 xenstored_tmp_t
197
198 - Set files with the xenstored_tmp_t type, if you want to store xen‐
199 stored temporary files in the /tmp directories.
200
201
202
203 xenstored_var_lib_t
204
205 - Set files with the xenstored_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
206 xenstored files under the /var/lib directory.
207
208
209
210 xenstored_var_log_t
211
212 - Set files with the xenstored_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
213 data as xenstored var log data, usually stored under the /var/log di‐
214 rectory.
215
216
217
218 xenstored_var_run_t
219
220 - Set files with the xenstored_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
221 xenstored files under the /run or /var/run directory.
222
223
224 Paths:
225 /var/run/xenstored(/.*)?, /var/run/xenstore.pid
226
227
228 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
229 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
230 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
231 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
232
233
235 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
236 mappings.
237
238 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
239 process type is permissive.
240
241 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
242 icy modules.
243
244 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
245
246
247 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
248 icy settings.
