From ec7fb669945bfb47c5e1fdf7de3a5d07f7002ccf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ludovic Courtès Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2021 11:39:39 +0100 Subject: daemon: Prevent privilege escalation with '--keep-failed' [security]. Fixes . Reported by Nathan Nye of WhiteBeam Security. * nix/libstore/build.cc (DerivationGoal::startBuilder): When 'useChroot' is true, add "/top" to 'tmpDir'. (DerivationGoal::deleteTmpDir): Adjust accordingly. When 'settings.keepFailed' is true, chown in two steps: first the "/top" sub-directory, and then rename "/top" to its parent. --- nix/libstore/build.cc | 43 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 41 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'nix/libstore') diff --git a/nix/libstore/build.cc b/nix/libstore/build.cc index 20d83fea4a..4f486f0822 100644 --- a/nix/libstore/build.cc +++ b/nix/libstore/build.cc @@ -1621,6 +1621,24 @@ void DerivationGoal::startBuilder() auto drvName = storePathToName(drvPath); tmpDir = createTempDir("", "guix-build-" + drvName, false, false, 0700); + if (useChroot) { + /* Make the build directory seen by the build process a sub-directory. + That way, "/tmp/guix-build-foo.drv-0" is root-owned, and thus its + permissions cannot be changed by the build process, while + "/tmp/guix-build-foo.drv-0/top" is owned by the build user.
