4.4. sVirt Labeling
Like other services under the protection of SELinux, sVirt uses process based mechanisms, labels and restrictions to provide extra security and control over guest instances. Labels are applied automatically to resources on the system based on the currently running virtual machines (dynamic), but can also be manually specified by the administrator (static), to meet any specific requirements that may exist.
4.4.1. Types of sVirt Labels
The following table outlines the different sVirt labels that can be assigned to resources such as virtual machine processes, image files and shared content:
| Type | SELinux Context | Description/Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Machine Processes | system_u:system_r:svirt_t:MCS1 | MCS1 is a randomly selected field. Currently approximately 500,000 labels are supported. |
| Virtual Machine Image | system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:MCS1 | Only svirt_t processes with the same MCS1 fields are able to read/write these image files and devices. |
| Virtual Machine Shared Read/Write Content | system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0 | All svirt_t processes are allowed to write to the svirt_image_t:s0 files and devices. |
| Virtual Machine Shared Shared Read Only content | system_u:object_r:svirt_content_t:s0 | All svirt_t processes are able to read files/devices with this label. |
| Virtual Machine Image | system_u:object_r:virt_content_t:s0 | System default label used when an image exits. No svirt_t virtual processes are allowed to read files/devices with this label. |
