NAME

       virt_bridgehelper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virt_bridgehelper processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  virt_bridgehelper  processes  execute  with the virt_bridgehelper_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 virt_bridgehelper_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The virt_bridgehelper_t SELinux type can be entered via the virt_bridgehelper_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/libexec/qemu-bridge-helper

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

       The following process types are defined for virt_bridgehelper:

       virt_bridgehelper_t

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

BOOLEANS

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

       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  virt_bridgehelper_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.

       svirt_home_t

	    /home/[^/]*/.libvirt/qemu(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.cache/libvirt/qemu(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.config/libvirt/qemu(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.local/share/gnome-boxes/images(/.*)?

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 virt_bridgehelper policy is very flexible allowing users to set-
       up their virt_bridgehelper processes in as secure a method as possible.

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux	defines  the  file  context types for the virt_bridgehelper, 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 virt_bridgehelper_exec_t '/srv/virt_bridgehelper/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirt_bridgehelper_content

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

       The following file types are defined for virt_bridgehelper:

       virt_bridgehelper_exec_t

       - Set files with the virt_bridgehelper_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the virt_bridgehelper_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 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.
