NAME

       xenstored_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the xenstored processes

DESCRIPTION

       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the xenstored processes via flexible mandatory access control.

       The  xenstored  processes  execute with the xenstored_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
       command with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep xenstored_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The xenstored_t SELinux type can be entered via the xenstored_exec_t file type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the xenstored_t domain are the following:

       /usr/sbin/xenstored, /usr/sbin/oxenstored

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 xenstored policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  xen-
       stored processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for xenstored:

       xenstored_t

       Note:  semanage permissive -a xenstored_t can be used to make the process type xenstored_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to per-
       missive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS

       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  xenstored policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run xenstored with the tightest access possible.

       If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1

       If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

       If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1

       If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals, you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1

       If  you	want  to  deny	any  process  from ptracing or debugging any other processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors, you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you must turn on  the	domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled	by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES

       The  SELinux  process  type xenstored_t can manage files labeled with the following file types.	The paths listed are the default paths for
       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

       cluster_conf_t

	    /etc/cluster(/.*)?

       cluster_var_lib_t

	    /var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/openais(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
	    /usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
	    /var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

       cluster_var_run_t

	    /var/run/crm(/.*)?
	    /var/run/cman_.*
	    /var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?
	    /var/run/aisexec.*
	    /var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?
	    /var/run/cpglockd.pid
	    /var/run/corosync.pid
	    /var/run/rgmanager.pid
	    /var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

       root_t

	    /
	    /initrd

       xenfs_t

       xenstored_tmp_t

       xenstored_var_lib_t

	    /var/lib/xenstored(/.*)?

       xenstored_var_log_t

	    /var/log/xenstored.*

       xenstored_var_run_t

	    /var/run/xenstored(/.*)?
	    /var/run/xenstore.pid

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 xenstored policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their
       xenstored processes in as secure a method as possible.

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux	defines  the  file  context types for the xenstored, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
       execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t xenstored_exec_t '/srv/xenstored/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myxenstored_content

       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

       The following file types are defined for xenstored:

       xenstored_exec_t

       - Set files with the xenstored_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the xenstored_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /usr/sbin/xenstored, /usr/sbin/oxenstored

       xenstored_tmp_t

       - Set files with the xenstored_tmp_t type, if you want to store xenstored temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       xenstored_var_lib_t

       - Set files with the xenstored_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the xenstored files under the /var/lib directory.

       xenstored_var_log_t

       - Set files with the xenstored_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as xenstored var log data, usually stored under  the  /var/log
       directory.

       xenstored_var_run_t

       - Set files with the xenstored_var_run_t type, if you want to store the xenstored files under the /run or /var/run directory.

       Paths:
	    /var/run/xenstored(/.*)?, /var/run/xenstore.pid

       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 database.	You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.

       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.

       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
