6 uml_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the uml processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the uml processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The uml processes execute with the uml_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep uml_t
19
20
21
23 The uml_t SELinux type can be entered via the uml_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the uml_t domain are the following:
26
27
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 uml policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their uml processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for uml:
40
41 uml_t, uml_switch_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a uml_t can be used to make the process type
44 uml_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. uml
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run uml with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
56 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
57
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
59
60
61
62 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
63 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
70 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
77 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type uml_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
85 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

120 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
121 type.
122
123 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
124
125 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
126 SELinux uml policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their uml
127 processes in as secure a method as possible.
128
129 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
130
131 SELinux defines the file context types for the uml, if you wanted to
132 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
133 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
134 storecon to put the labels on disk.
135
136 semanage fcontext -a -t uml_exec_t '/srv/uml/content(/.*)?'
137 restorecon -R -v /srv/myuml_content
138
139 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
140 match multiple files.
141
142 The following file types are defined for uml:
143
144
145
146 uml_exec_t
147
148 - Set files with the uml_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
149 cutable to the uml_t domain.
150
151
152
153 uml_ro_t
154
155 - Set files with the uml_ro_t type, if you want to treat the files as
156 uml read/only content.
157
158
159
160 uml_rw_t
161
162 - Set files with the uml_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files as
163 uml read/write content.
164
165
166
167 uml_switch_exec_t
168
169 - Set files with the uml_switch_exec_t type, if you want to transition
170 an executable to the uml_switch_t domain.
171
172
173
174 uml_switch_var_run_t
175
176 - Set files with the uml_switch_var_run_t type, if you want to store
177 the uml switch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
178
179
180
181 uml_tmp_t
182
183 - Set files with the uml_tmp_t type, if you want to store uml temporary
184 files in the /tmp directories.
185
186
187
188 uml_tmpfs_t
189
190 - Set files with the uml_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store uml files
191 on a tmpfs file system.
192
193
194
195 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
196 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
197 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
198 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
199
200
202 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
203 mappings.
204
205 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
206 process type is permissive.
207
208 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
209 icy modules.
210
211 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
212
213
214 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
215 icy settings.
