virtd_selinux(8) virtd SELinux Policy documentation virtd_selinux(8)NAMEvirtd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtd processes
DESCRIPTIONBOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. virtd
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run virtd with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to read fuse file, you
must turn on the virt_use_fusefs boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_fusefs 1
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage nfs file, you
must turn on the virt_use_nfs boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to use serial/parallel
communication port, you must turn on the virt_use_comm boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_comm 1
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage device configu‐
ration, (pci, you must turn on the virt_use_sysfs boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_sysfs 1
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to use usb device, you
must turn on the virt_use_usb boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_usb 1
If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage cifs file, you
must turn on the virt_use_samba boolean.
setsebool -P virt_use_samba 1
FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
SELinux virtd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
virtd processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for virtd:
virt_cache_t
- Set files with the virt_cache_t type, if you want to store the files
under the /var/cache directory.
Paths:
/var/cache/libvirt(/.*)?
virt_content_t
- Set files with the virt_content_t type, if you want to treat the
files as virt content.
Paths:
/var/lib/libvirt/boot(/.*)?, /var/lib/libvirt/isos(/.*)?
virt_etc_rw_t
- Set files with the virt_etc_rw_t type, if you want to treat the files
as virt etc read/write content.
Paths:
/etc/libvirt/.*/.*, /etc/xen/.*/.*, /etc/xen/[^/]*, /etc/lib‐
virt/[^/]*
virt_etc_t
- Set files with the virt_etc_t type, if you want to store virt files
in the /etc directories.
Paths:
/etc/libvirt/[^/]*, /etc/libvirt, /etc/xen/[^/]*, /etc/xen
virt_home_t
- Set files with the virt_home_t type, if you want to store virt files
in the users home directory.
virt_image_t
- Set files with the virt_image_t type, if you want to treat the files
as virt image data.
Paths:
/var/lib/libvirt/images(/.*)?
virt_log_t
- Set files with the virt_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
virt log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
Paths:
/var/log/libvirt(/.*)?
virt_tmp_t
- Set files with the virt_tmp_t type, if you want to store virt tempo‐
rary files in the /tmp directories.
virt_var_lib_t
- Set files with the virt_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the virt
files under the /var/lib directory.
Paths:
/var/lib/libvirt(/.*)?
virt_var_run_t
- Set files with the virt_var_run_t type, if you want to store the virt
files under the /run directory.
Paths:
/var/run/vdsm(/.*)?, /var/run/libvirt(/.*)?
virtd_exec_t
- Set files with the virtd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the virtd_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/sbin/condor_vm-gahp, /usr/sbin/libvirtd
virtd_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the virtd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the virtd_initrc_t domain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
PORT TYPES
SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
command:
semanage port -l
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
SELinux virtd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
virtd processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for virtd:
virt_migration_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 8021
virt_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 8021
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
virtd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their virtd pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for virtd:
virtd_t
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
mappings.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
icy modules.
semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
