Libvirt doesn't care about security during hot add disk images. It even
accepts addition of disk images of other guest running on the host.
Steps followed to create this scenario :
Started two VMs with following security configurations:
vm1:
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'>
<label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c219,c564</label>
<imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c219,c564</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
vm2 :
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='yes'>
<label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c122,c658</label>
<imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c122,c658</imagelabel>
</seclabel>

Now, try to add vm1's disk image into vm2 - this must not be allowed -
since for virtualized guest images. Only svirt_t processes with the
same MCS fields can read/write these images. i.e., for vm2 to access
vm1's disk image it's MCS label must be 's0:c660,c689'.
Hot addition of vm1's image i.e., /var/lib/libvirt/images/vm1.img is
successful ( which must not be allowed )
moreover , MCS label for vm1's image has changed to that of vm2
# ls -lZ /var/lib/libvirt/images/

vm1.img
-rw-------. qemu qemu system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c122,c658

Trying to read/write on vm1 will generate AVC messages

restricting vm1 read/write it's own image.
Changing seclabels with virsh/virt-manager is not supported so defined a
new XML with
<seclabel type='dynamic' model='selinux' relabel='no'>
<label>system_u:system_r:svirt_t:s0:c110,c401</label>
<imagelabel>system_u:object_r:svirt_image_t:s0:c110,c401</imagelabel>
</seclabel>
but when I try to define it , gives me error :
# virsh define vm3.xml
error: Failed to define domain from vm3.xml
error: unsupported configuration: dynamic label type must use resource
relabeling
looks like it's not possible to assign relabel='no' with dynamic
labelling.
libvirt/src/conf/domain_conf.c :
if (def->type == VIR_DOMAIN_SECLABEL_DYNAMIC &&
def->norelabel) {
virDomainReportError(VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED,
"%s", _("dynamic label type must use
resource relabeling"));
goto error;
}
