<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">qemu_dm_selinux
&minus; Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the qemu_dm
processes</p>

<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the qemu_dm processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The qemu_dm
processes execute with the qemu_dm_t SELinux type. You can
check if you have these processes running by executing the
<b>ps</b> command with the <b>&minus;Z</b> qualifier.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For
example:</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>ps -eZ |
grep qemu_dm_t</b></p>

<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The qemu_dm_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>qemu_dm_exec_t</b>
file type.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the qemu_dm_t domain are the
following:</p>

<h2>PROCESS TYPES
<a name="PROCESS TYPES"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
process types (domains) for each process running on the
system</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a process using the <b>&minus;Z</b> option to
<b>ps</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to files. SELinux qemu_dm
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
qemu_dm processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for qemu_dm:</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>qemu_dm_t</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a qemu_dm_t</b> can be used to make
the process type qemu_dm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux
denials) messages are still generated.</p>

<h2>BOOLEANS
<a name="BOOLEANS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux policy
is customizable based on least access required. qemu_dm
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run qemu_dm with the
tightest access possible.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on
the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
fips_mode 1</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow xend to run qemu-dm. Not required if using paravirt
and no vfb, you must turn on the xend_run_qemu boolean.
Enabled by default.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
xend_run_qemu 1</b></p>

<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type qemu_dm_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.</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>xenfs_t</b></p>

<h2>COMMANDS
<a name="COMMANDS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext</b> can also be used to manipulate default file
context mappings.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
permissive</b> can also be used to manipulate whether or not
a process type is permissive.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
module</b> can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove
policy modules.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
boolean</b> can also be used to manipulate the booleans</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>system-config-selinux</b>
is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy
settings.</p>
