Nix, the purely functional package manager
879d814a75
Previously, the .chroot directory had permission 750 or 755 (depending on the uid-range system feature) and was owned by root/nixbld. This makes it possible for any nixbld user (if uid-range is disabled) or any user (if uid-range is enabled) to inspect the contents of the chroot of an active build and maybe interfere with it (e.g. via /tmp in the chroot, which has 1777 permission). To prevent this, the root is now a subdirectory of .chroot, which has permission 700 and is owned by root/root. (cherry picked from commit af280e72fa0e62e1c2eaccfb992c0dbb6f27f895) |
