xenconsoled_selinux(8)

✨ xenconsoled_selinux ✨

okay so this is the xenconsoled_selinux(8) page from the SELinux Policy xenconsoled manual, and bestie, it's literally all about how SELinux locks down the xenconsoled processes. let's get into it 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

xenconsoled_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux Policy situation for the xenconsoled processes 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the xenconsoled processes via flexible mandatory access control. no cap, that's the whole vibe check. 🦋

The xenconsoled processes execute with the xenconsoled_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? just execute the ps command with the -Z qualifier, easy. 👑

For example:

ps -eZ | grep xenconsoled_t

---

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS 🎀

The xenconsoled_t SELinux type can be entered via the xenconsoled_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, bestie 🚪✨

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

/usr/bin/xenconsoled

---

🦋 PROCESS TYPES 🦋

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. slay 💅

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. the SELinux xenconsoled policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their xenconsoled processes in as secure a method as possible. 🔥

The following process types are defined for xenconsoled:

xenconsoled_t

Note: semanage permissive -a xenconsoled_t can be used to make the process type xenconsoled_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. 👀 like, it stops blocking you but it's still gonna text about it, iykyk.

---

⭐ BOOLEANS ⭐

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

If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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

---

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type xenconsoled_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. fr fr, no skipping that part 🫶

• xenfs_t — no default paths listed here, that's just how it is bestie 🙈

💜 FILE CONTEXTS 💜

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. iconic behavior honestly 💅

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. the SELinux xenconsoled policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their xenconsoled processes in as secure a method as possible. 🔥

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

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

semanage fcontext -a -t xenconsoled_exec_t
'/srv/xenconsoled/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myxenconsoled_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 🙈💖

The following file types are defined for xenconsoled:

• xenconsoled_exec_t — Set files with the xenconsoled_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the xenconsoled_t domain. main character energy for your executable 👑
• xenconsoled_var_run_t — Set files with the xenconsoled_var_run_t type, if you want to store the xenconsoled files under the /run or /var/run directory. 🏃‍♀️

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. don't forget the restorecon step or it's giving unfinished business 😭

🫶 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. yes bestie, a whole GUI, for when the terminal vibe isn't it 🌸

and that's the whole page, bestie 🎀 this cutie came from the xenconsoled source, version 26-10-06, and it's dated xenconsoled_selinux(8) — go forth and label responsibly 💖🦋💅
