2024-07-25libstore/build: use an allowlist approach to syscall filteringAlois Wohlschlager
Previously, system call filtering (to prevent builders from storing files with setuid/setgid permission bits or extended attributes) was performed using a blocklist. While this looks simple at first, it actually carries significant security and maintainability risks: after all, the kernel may add new syscalls to achieve the same functionality one is trying to block, and it can even be hard to actually add the syscall to the blocklist when building against a C library that doesn't know about it yet. For a recent demonstration of this happening in practice to Nix, see the introduction of fchmodat2 [0] [1]. The allowlist approach does not share the same drawback. While it does require a rather large list of harmless syscalls to be maintained in the codebase, failing to update this list (and roll out the update to all users) in time has rather benign effects; at worst, very recent programs that already rely on new syscalls will fail with an error the same way they would on a slightly older kernel that doesn't support them yet. Most importantly, no unintended new ways of performing dangerous operations will be silently allowed. Another possible drawback is reduced system call performance due to the larger filter created by the allowlist requiring more computation [2]. However, this issue has not convincingly been demonstrated yet in practice, for example in systemd or various browsers. To the contrary, it has been measured that the the actual filter constructed here has approximately the same overhead as a very simple filter blocking only one system call. This commit tries to keep the behavior as close to unchanged as possible. The system call list is in line with libseccomp 2.5.5 and glibc 2.39, which are the latest versions at the point of writing. Since libseccomp 2.5.5 is already a requirement and the distributions shipping this together with older versions of glibc are mostly not a thing any more, this should not lead to more build failures any more.

2024-07-25libstore/build: always treat seccomp setup failures as fatalAlois Wohlschlager
In f047e4357b4f7ad66c2e476506bf35cab82e441e, I missed the behavior that if building without a dedicated build user (i.e. in single-user setups), seccomp setup failures are silently ignored. This was introduced without explanation 7 years ago (ff6becafa8efc2f7e6f2b9b889ba4adf20b8d524). Hopefully the only use-case nowadays is causing spurious test suite successes when messing up the seccomp filter during development. Let's try removing it.

2024-07-21libstore/binary-cache-store: use correct buffer size for NAR decompressionAlois Wohlschlager
Due to a leftover from a previous version where the buffer was allocated on the stack, the change introduced in commit 4ec87742a196d8ed8f41b41ef039706ce791448d accidentally passes the size of a pointer as the size of the buffer to the decompressor. Since the former is much smaller (usually 8 bytes instead of 64 kilobytes), this is safe, but leads to considerable overhead; most notably, due to excessive progress reports, which happen for each chunk. Pass the proper buffer size instead. Change-Id: If4bf472d33e21587acb5235a2d99e3cb10914633

SimpleLogger is not fully thread-safe, and all loggers that wrap it are also not safe accordingly. this does not affect much, but in rare cases it can cause interleaving of messages on stderr when used with the json or raw log formats. the fix applied here is a bit of a hack, but fixing this properly requires rearchitecting the logger infrastructure. nested loggers are not the most natural abstraction here, and it is biting us.

2024-07-16libstore: generatorize protocol serializerseldritch horrors
this is cursed. deeply and profoundly cursed. under NO CIRCUMSTANCES must protocol serializer helpers be applied to temporaries! doing so will inevitably cause dangling references and cause the entire thing to crash. we need to do this even so to get rid of boost coroutines, and likewise to encapsulate the serializers we suffer today at least a little bit to allow a gradual migration to an actual IPC protocol. (this isn't a problem that's unique to generators. c++ coroutines in general cannot safely take references to arbitrary temporaries since c++ does not have a lifetime system that can make this safe. -sigh-) Change-Id: I2921ba451e04d86798752d140885d3c5cc08e146

2024-07-13language: cleanly ban integer overflowsJade Lovelace
This also bans various sneaking of negative numbers from the language into unsuspecting builtins as was exposed while auditing the consequences of changing the Nix language integer type to a newtype. It's unlikely that this change comprehensively ensures correctness when passing integers out of the Nix language and we should probably add a checked-narrowing function or something similar, but that's out of scope for the immediate change. During the development of this I found a few fun facts about the language: - You could overflow integers by converting from unsigned JSON values. - You could overflow unsigned integers by converting negative numbers into them when going into Nix config, into fetchTree, and into flake inputs. The flake inputs and Nix config cannot actually be tested properly since they both ban thunks, however, we put in checks anyway because it's possible these could somehow be used to do such shenanigans some other way. Note that Lix has banned Nix language integer overflows since the very first public beta, but threw a SIGILL about them because we run with -fsanitize=signed-overflow -fsanitize-undefined-trap-on-error in production builds. Since the Nix language uses signed integers, overflow was simply undefined behaviour, and since we defined that to trap, it did. Trapping on it was a bad UX, but we didn't even entirely notice that we had done this at all until it was reported as a bug a couple of months later (which is, to be fair, that flag working as intended), and it's got enough production time that, aside from code that is IMHO buggy (and which is, in any case, not in nixpkgs) such as https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/445, we don't think anyone doing anything reasonable actually depends on wrapping overflow. Even for weird use cases such as doing funny bit crimes, it doesn't make sense IMO to have wrapping behaviour, since two's complement arithmetic overflow behaviour is so *aggressively* not what you want for *any* kind of mathematics/algorithms. The Nix language exists for package management, a domain where bit crimes are already only dubiously in scope to begin with, and it makes a lot more sense for that domain for the integers to never lose precision, either by throwing errors if they would, or by being arbitrary-precision. This change will be ported to CppNix as well, to maintain language consistency. Fixes: https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues/423 Change-Id: I51f253840c4af2ea5422b8a420aa5fafbf8fae75
2024-07-12Use std::strong_ordering for version comparisonJade Lovelace
The actual motive here is the avoidance of integer overflow if we were to make these use checked NixInts and retain the subtraction. However, the actual *intent* of this code is a three-way comparison, which can be done with operator<=>, so we should just do *that* instead. Change-Id: I7f9a7da1f3176424b528af6d1b4f1591e4ab26bf
