This fixes a security issue (CVE-2024-27297) whereby a fixed-output
derivation build process could open a writable file descriptor to its
output, send it to some outside process for instance over an abstract
AF_UNIX socket, which would then allow said process to modify the file
in the store after it has been marked as “valid”.

Nix security advisory:
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/advisories/GHSA-2ffj-w4mj-pg37

* nix/libutil/util.cc (readDirectory): Add variants that take a DIR* and
a file descriptor.  Rewrite the ‘Path’ variant accordingly.
(copyFile, copyFileRecursively): New functions.
* nix/libutil/util.hh (copyFileRecursively): New declaration.
* nix/libstore/build.cc (DerivationGoal::buildDone): When ‘fixedOutput’
is true, call ‘copyFileRecursively’ followed by ‘rename’ on each output.

Hello,

On Friday, March 8th, fellow Nix developers Picnoir and Théophane
Hufschmitt contacted the Guix security team to let us know about
a security vulnerability in the Nix daemon they had just found and
addressed in Nix:

  advisory: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/security/advisories/GHSA-2ffj-w4mj-pg37
  PoC: https://hackmd.io/03UGerewRcy3db44JQoWvw
  fix: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/244f3eee0bbc7f11e9b383a15ed7368e2c4becc9

By sending a file descriptor to another process on the same machine, a
fixed-output derivation build process could give write access to a store
item to an unprivileged process, effectively giving an unprivileged user
the ability to corrupt that store item.

The fix implemented by Nix hackers is nice and simple: upon build
completion, the output is copied to a new location and deleted, such
that any file descriptors that might have been shared now point to
unlinked files.  (The PoC above looks at various other ways to fix the
problem, and this one is by far the simplest.)

The patch below “backports” the Nix fix to our daemon.  I ended up
having to implement my own ‘copyFileRecursively’ function, which is
not great (recent versions of Nix use C++17 ‘std::filesystem’ but we’re
stuck on C++11 and making the switch didn’t feel appealing either.)

I tested the patch locally with things like:

  strace -o log.strace -f ./test-env guix build -S guile-ssh
  strace -o log.strace -f ./test-env guix build -S guile-ssh --check
  strace -o log.strace -f ./test-env guix build -S hello

… looking at the strace output to make sure things were happening as
expected.  Also, “make check” passes.

We’d like to push it probably today, but we’d very much like to get
more eyeballs on this code!

Thanks again to Picnoir and Théophane!

Ludo’.

Pushed (with a slightly different commit message) as
8f4ffb3fae133bb21d7991e97c2f19a7108b1143.

Updated the ‘guix’ package in b8954a7faeccae11c32add7cd0f408d139af3a43:
Guix System users can now reconfigure!

Added a news entry in 4003c60abf7a6e59e47cc2deb9eef2f104ebb994.

Many thanks for the quick fix, deployment, and news entry!

I've attached a draft of a blog post to add some information and
further alert users. Please give it a read and feel free to make any
changes or corrections. Especially if I misunderstood or glossed too
quickly over any technical aspects, though I kept it light. And, if
all looks good, feel free to take whatever steps to post this to the
website.

Two minor questions/comments:

1. I made a note that presumably there is some performance penalty for
   copying everything, probably for derivations with many files. But I
   haven't tested this, just picked up on this from what was said on
   the Nix side as a potential impact.

2. Is picnoir the same as Félix Baylac Jacqué? I wasn't sure based on
   emails; fine to change to whatever they want for credit for
   reporting this to us. Based on what was posted on the Nix side, it
   seems jade and puckipedia are the original finders/reporters of the
   security issue. But feel free to correct me.


Thanks everyone!

As promised, attached is a reproducer that I adapted from the Nix one at
<https://hackmd.io/03UGerewRcy3db44JQoWvw>, which I think was written by
puck <https://github.com/puckipedia>.

The program demonstrates the vulnerability using two fixed-output
derivations that must be built concurrently on the same machine.

To do that, run:

  guix build -f fixed-output-derivation-corruption.scm -M4

Normally, you’ll find yourself building
“derivation-that-exfiltrates-fd.drv” and “derivation-that-grabs-fd.drv”
in parallel; the former will send a file descriptor to the latter using
a C program, and the latter will use that file descriptor to modify the
contents of /gnu/store/…-derivation-that-exfiltrates-fd after it has
completed.

On a safe system, the ‘guix build’ command succeeds like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

You can remove those corrupt test files by running:

  guix gc -D /gnu/store/yls7xkg8k0i0qxab8sv960qsy6a0xcz7-derivation-that-exfiltrates-fd*

You can find corrupt files in your store by running:

  guix gc --verify=contents

This is expensive because it reads every single file under /gnu/store
and check the hash of each store item against that recorded in
/var/guix/db/db.sqlite.  It should flag all the
/gnu/store/…-derivation-that-exfiltrates-fd* outputs.

Thanks for the reproducer and instructions. I've included the code an
a brief overview of how to run and what to look for in the updated
post (along with other changes noted privately).

The updated post is attached. I will have some time here and there
over the next few hours to make changes, but will mostly be away from
my Guix machine to handle actually pushing. So, once it looks good,
feel free to do that or I can do it this evening my time (in about 7-8
hours).

Thanks again Ludo’ for all your work here!

John

LGTM, thank you!
