This puts ‘importPaths’ on par with ‘addToStore’ and ‘addTextToStore’: since
the two latter RPCs let anyone add content-addressed items in the store,
there’s no reason for ‘importPaths’ to require signatures by authorized keys
on these content-addressed items.

This will allow for things like ‘guix copy’ of .drv items without
authorization, or ‘guix deploy’ with (build-locally? #f) without
authorization.

* nix/libstore/store-api.hh (isContentAddressedPath): New prototype.
* nix/libstore/store-api.cc (isContentAddressedPath): New function.
* nix/libutil/util.hh (isPlainFile): New prototype.
* nix/libutil/util.cc (isPlainFile): New function.
* nix/libstore/local-store.cc (LocalStore::importPath): Define ‘narHash’ and
‘contentAddressed’.  Allow unsigned imports when ‘contentAddressed’ is true;
bypass signature verification when ‘contentAddressed’ is true.
* tests/store.scm ("import not signed"): Rewrite to not use a
content-addressed store item.
("import signed by unauthorized key"): Likewise.
("import not signed but content-addressed tree"): New test.
("import not signed but content-addressed regular file"): New test.
("import signed by unauthorized key but content-addressed"): New test.
("import with corrupt signature"): New test.
("import signed by authorized key but hash doesn't match"): New test.
("import with corrupt signature but content-addressed"): New test.
("import signed by authorized key, hash doesn't match, but content-addressed"):
New test.
* doc/guix.texi (Invoking guix archive): Document the exception for
content-addressed store items.  Add anchor for ‘--authorize’.
(Invoking guix deploy): Document the benefit of (build-locally? #f).
Add cross-reference for ‘authorize?’.

Fixes a regression introduced in 7173c2c0ca.  Additional discussion at
https://codeberg.org/guix/guix/pulls/5977.

* nix/libutil/util.cc (_deletePathAt): chmod directory and retry open when it
  fails with EACCES.  Do this using an O_PATH file descriptor referenced via
  /proc/self/fd whenever possible to avoid it being replaced by a
  non-directory immediately before being chmod'ed.
* nix/libutil/util.hh (deletePath): document TOCTTOU race on non-linux systems
  where hardlinks aren't protected.
* tests/derivations.scm ("unreadable directories in build tree can be
  removed"): new test.

<title>daemon: Use slirp4netns to provide networking to fixed-output derivations.</title>
<updated>2025-06-24T14:07:57+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>Reepca Russelstein</name>
<email>reepca@russelstein.xyz</email>
</author>
<published>2025-04-18T06:35:31+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.vineetk.net/guix/commit/?id=fb42611b8f27960304db5a1c0d33b8371dcde2a8'/>
<id>fb42611b8f27960304db5a1c0d33b8371dcde2a8</id>
<content type='text'>
Previously, the builder of a fixed-output derivation could communicate with an
external process via an abstract Unix-domain socket.  In particular, it could
send an open file descriptor to the store, granting write access to some of
its output files in the store provided the derivation build fails—the fix for
CVE-2024-27297 did not address this specific case.  It could also send an open
file descriptor to a setuid program, which could then be executed using
execveat to gain the privileges of the build user.

With this change, fixed-output derivations other than “builtin:download”
and “builtin:git-download” always run in a separate network namespace
and have network access provided by a TAP device backed by slirp4netns,
thereby closing the abstract Unix-domain socket channel.

* nix/libstore/globals.hh (Settings)[useHostLoopback, slirp4netns]: new
fields.
* config-daemon.ac (SLIRP4NETNS): new C preprocessor definition.
* nix/libstore/globals.cc (Settings::Settings): initialize them to defaults.
* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (options): add --isolate-host-loopback option.
* doc/guix.texi: document it.
* nix/libstore/build.cc (DerivationGoal)[slirp]: New field.
(setupTap, setupTapAction, waitForSlirpReadyAction, enableRouteLocalnetAction,
 prepareSlirpChrootAction, spawnSlirp4netns, haveGlobalIPv6Address,
 remapIdsTo0Action): New functions.
(initializeUserNamespace): allow the guest UID and GID to be specified.
(DerivationGoal::killChild): When ‘slirp’ is not -1, call ‘kill’.
(DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Unconditionally add CLONE_NEWNET to FLAGS.
When ‘fixedOutput’ is true, spawn ‘slirp4netns’.
When ‘fixedOutput’ and ‘useChroot’ are true, add setupTapAction,
waitForSlirpReadyAction, and enableRouteLocalnetAction to builder setup
phases.
Create a /etc/resolv.conf for fixed-output derivations that directs them to
slirp4netns's dns address.
When settings.useHostLoopback is true, supply fixed-output derivations with a
/etc/hosts that resolves "localhost" to slirp4netns's address for accessing
the host loopback.
* nix/libutil/util.cc (keepOnExec, decodeOctalEscaped, sendFD, receiveFD,
  findProgram): New functions.

Previously, the builder of a fixed-output derivation could communicate with an
external process via an abstract Unix-domain socket.  In particular, it could
send an open file descriptor to the store, granting write access to some of
its output files in the store provided the derivation build fails—the fix for
CVE-2024-27297 did not address this specific case.  It could also send an open
file descriptor to a setuid program, which could then be executed using
execveat to gain the privileges of the build user.

With this change, fixed-output derivations other than “builtin:download”
and “builtin:git-download” always run in a separate network namespace
and have network access provided by a TAP device backed by slirp4netns,
thereby closing the abstract Unix-domain socket channel.

* nix/libstore/globals.hh (Settings)[useHostLoopback, slirp4netns]: new
fields.
* config-daemon.ac (SLIRP4NETNS): new C preprocessor definition.
* nix/libstore/globals.cc (Settings::Settings): initialize them to defaults.
* nix/nix-daemon/guix-daemon.cc (options): add --isolate-host-loopback option.
* doc/guix.texi: document it.
* nix/libstore/build.cc (DerivationGoal)[slirp]: New field.
(setupTap, setupTapAction, waitForSlirpReadyAction, enableRouteLocalnetAction,
 prepareSlirpChrootAction, spawnSlirp4netns, haveGlobalIPv6Address,
 remapIdsTo0Action): New functions.
(initializeUserNamespace): allow the guest UID and GID to be specified.
(DerivationGoal::killChild): When ‘slirp’ is not -1, call ‘kill’.
(DerivationGoal::startBuilder): Unconditionally add CLONE_NEWNET to FLAGS.
When ‘fixedOutput’ is true, spawn ‘slirp4netns’.
When ‘fixedOutput’ and ‘useChroot’ are true, add setupTapAction,
waitForSlirpReadyAction, and enableRouteLocalnetAction to builder setup
phases.
Create a /etc/resolv.conf for fixed-output derivations that directs them to
slirp4netns's dns address.
When settings.useHostLoopback is true, supply fixed-output derivations with a
/etc/hosts that resolves "localhost" to slirp4netns's address for accessing
the host loopback.
* nix/libutil/util.cc (keepOnExec, decodeOctalEscaped, sendFD, receiveFD,
  findProgram): New functions.
* nix/libutil/util.hh (keepOnExec, decodeOctalEscaped, sendFD, receiveFD,

<title>daemon: add and use spawn.cc and spawn.hh.</title>

This adds a mechanism for manipulating and running "spawn phases" similarly to
how builder-side code manipulates "build phases".  The main difference is that
spawn phases take a (reference to a) single structure that they can both read
from and write to, with their writes being visible to subsequent phases.  The
base structure type for this is SpawnContext.

It also adds some predefined phase sequences, namely basicSpawnPhases and
cloneSpawnPhases, and exposes each of the actions performed by these phases.

Finally, it modifies build.cc to replace runChild() with use of this new code.

* nix/libutil/util.cc (keepOnExec, waitForMessage): new functions.
* nix/libutil.util.hh (keepOnExec, waitForMessage): add prototypes.
* nix/libutil/spawn.cc, nix/libutil/spawn.hh: new files.
