While svirt_t can be used for sockets it does not always guarantee that it will
be accessible from a virtual machine.  The VM might be running under svirt_tcg_t
context which will need a svirt_tcg_t label on the socket in order to access it.

I don't really know enough about SELinux or the sVirt policy to
comment on this, but it's plausible so I'll push it soon, thanks.


I dug through this for quite a while, but I still cannot see why is there a
difference between svirt_t and svirt_tcg_t (except maybe /dev/kvm context).

But I created a build with this patch in for the reporter of the bug and they
tested it and it worked. I also took some time to look at the policies (and had
to learn what a "type attribute" is, see below) to make sure this is as close to
how it should work as I, myself, can get.

One thing I would like to get some feedback on, although I believe it is not
required for this patch's justification, is some information about what each
context is supposed to mean or be used for. I was pretty confident about what
svirt_t is supposed to be used for, but when I have seen that svirt_t is defined
for the unix_stream_socket target class as well, while being defined for
virt_domain type attribute as well, does not really make sense to me.

Anyway, thanks.

Rich.

There is, however, another label, svirt_socket_t, which is accessible from
virt_domain:

  # sesearch -A -s svirt_t -c unix_stream_socket -p connectto
  ...
  allow virt_domain svirt_socket_t:unix_stream_socket { ... connectto ... };
  ...

And virt_domain is a type attribute of both svirt_t and svirt_tcg_t:

  # seinfo -x -a virt_domain
  Type Attributes: 1
     attribute virt_domain;
          svirt_t
          svirt_tcg_t
