It is possible to exfiltrate a file descriptor out of the build sandbox
of FODs, and use it to modify the store path after it has been
registered. To avoid that issue, don't register the output of the build,
but a copy of it (that will be free of any leaked file descriptor).
Test that we can't leverage abstract unix domain sockets to leak file
descriptors out of the sandbox and modify the path after it has been
registered.

Nix
# Nix is a sandboxed build system. But Not everything can be handled inside its
|
|
# sandbox: Network access is normally blocked off, but to download sources, a
|
|
# trapdoor has to exist. Nix handles this by having "Fixed-output derivations".
|
|
# The detail here is not important, but in our case it means that the hash of
|
|
# the output has to be known beforehand. And if you know that, you get a few
|
|
# rights: you no longer run inside a special network namespace!
|
|
#
|
|
# Now, Linux has a special feature, that not many other unices do: Abstract
|
|
# unix domain sockets! Not only that, but those are namespaced using the
|
|
# network namespace! That means that we have a way to create sockets that are
|
|
# available in every single fixed-output derivation, and also all processes
|
|
# running on the host machine! Now, this wouldn't be that much of an issue, as,
|
|
# well, the whole idea is that the output is pure, and all processes in the
|
|
# sandbox are killed before finalizing the output. What if we didn't need those
|
|
# processes at all? Unix domain sockets have a semi-known trick: you can pass
|
|
# file descriptors around!
|
|
# This makes it possible to exfiltrate a file-descriptor with write access to
|
|
# $out outside of the sandbox. And that file-descriptor can be used to modify
|
|
# the contents of the store path after it has been registered.
