From 180b52ce6e2edb93dcf1013d47a47747d4d08b31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: kridaydave Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2026 19:56:54 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Confine archive extraction to a Landlock child, and disclose it when the kernel cannot Unpacking an unreviewed release ran inside the review process, so a parser bug in the extraction path executed with the full privileges of whatever invoked blueline. Extraction now happens in a child re-exec'd from current_exe() under a Landlock ruleset scoped to the destination directory. Where the kernel cannot confine the child (macOS, Windows, no Landlock) the extraction is not silently downgraded. Each such review carries P05_SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE at LOW, pushed straight onto the findings vector rather than through apply_extra_findings, which recomputes the band from accumulated score. A disclosure that can move the verdict is not a disclosure. A child that dies or breaks protocol is a hard error. Falling back in-process would read whatever the dead child managed to write, which is the one outcome worse than the bug being fixed. New [general] require_sandbox key, default false. Unavailability is the normal case off Linux, so refusing by default would break four of six shipped platforms for a check nobody asked for. true means refuse rather than disclose. This lands on top of #71 and reuses its private_temp_dir 0o700 fix; the confinement bounds what the child may write and says nothing about who else can read the directory afterwards, so both are needed.

The most easily attacker- triggered outcome therefore came back as "the sandbox protocol broke" when the sandbox had worked exactly as intended. The comment claimed only two variants were reachable while handling one of the two. write_reply serialised the reply and wrote it to a pipe the parent does not read until after wait_with_timeout returns. A reply over the 64KiB pipe buffer blocked the child in write_all and the parent waited out the full 300s: a 300s hang per extraction, 600s with a baseline, from one malicious tarball, because refusal messages embed archive entry paths and are therefore attacker-sized. The bound is now applied before writing, in framed_reply_bytes, which is what the test calls. The changelog documented require_sandbox under [general]. The Rust field is `policy`, so [general] loads cleanly, is silently ignored (Policy has no deny_unknown_fields), and leaves the flag false. An operator who set the key expecting fail-closed refusals got an unconfined extraction and a LOW disclosure. That was a fail-open this branch's own changelog created.

Exit 4 is the parent's "fall back in-process" signal, so a hardened container blocking prctl and a bad destination path both produced a completely unconfined extraction while the review disclosed a kernel gap that was never there. Only failures before the domain is touched can fall back. Anything at or after restrict_self is a new UNUSABLE reply carrying the child's own diagnosis, and the parent refuses. Also: - Confine before reading the archive, and do not spawn a child at all off Linux. The pipe needs no filesystem grant, so the reorder is free on Linux, and off Linux it saves a spawn plus a copy of the tarball to be told what the parent already knew. - Add V3 to the ladder. V5 then straight to V1 dropped Truncate, so a kernel too old for V5 lost O_TRUNC containment silently. - read_reply now splits the header off at the newline rather than slicing from nl + 1, which leaked the newline into the body and parsed anyway because serde_json skips leading whitespace. Bound the raw stdout too. - Pin the half of may_spawn_child that a unit test cannot reach. Under cfg(test) it is always false, so the old test passed just as well against a hardcoded false, and a production build that returned false would have disabled the sandbox everywhere. Checked by reverting each direction.

The confine dispatch was two #[cfg]-gated functions. On a Linux runner the non-Linux one does not exist, so cargo-mutants could replace its body with Ok("") and no test could kill it: the mutant compiles, runs, and is invisible because nothing on Linux calls that function. Merge them into one function with the body gated in two blocks, so the symbol exists on every host and the tier assertion can see the edit. Checked by applying the mutation by hand and watching the test fail. refusal_variant had an explicit BluelineError::Extraction(_) => "extraction" arm sitting directly above a catch-all returning the same string. No test can tell those apart, so deleting the arm was correctly reported as a survivor. Two arms producing one string is one arm too many; drop it.

For a refusal that re-ran the extraction unconfined over a dest the child had already partly written, from an attacker-sized trigger (refusal messages embed archive entry paths). The free text is cut to a character boundary with a marker now; the outcome always survives. The writer's bound reserves room for the length prefix (the reader keeps its own ceiling for refusing a hostile peer), so a ceiling-sized reply no longer deadlocks the parent for the full 300s CHILD_TIMEOUT. The guard's decision moved into a pure function, so the integration test no longer needs unsafe set_var and CHILD_ENV is crate-private again. Also from the review: the three never-constructed SandboxSkip variants are deleted (a dead child is ChildFailure::Unusable, never a skip); the two real-child tests that assert Landlock exit codes are cfg-gated on Linux; the traversal fixture's test now names the path grammar's error so a bad hand-rolled checksum cannot pass as a refusal; and the docs the sandbox landed behind are caught up: ARCHITECTURE 1/D4, README, drift.md entry 1 resolved, plus a new `sandbox` feature-map lane and the `require_sandbox` row in `policy`.

Only the archive that comes out gets the domain, so the larger parser of the two stays outside it. `[policy] require_sandbox = true` now refuses an AUR review before the first registry call instead of reporting a confinement the lane never had for the bytes that matter. The gap is named in the sandbox module header, ARCHITECTURE.md and the lane docs. Two unit tests called `confine` on the libtest process itself. Landlock is irreversible and thread-inheriting, so every thread libtest spawned afterwards stayed narrowed for the rest of the run and an unrelated temp-dir test could fail with `EPERM` for no visible reason. The status comparison is now a pure `is_fully_enforced`, the tier-or-refusal decision a pure `tier_or_refusal` pinned against all three `RulesetStatus` values, and the tier the kernel granted is read back off the built binary's stderr. The old match guard also survived a mutant that replaced it with `true`, which CI shard 22 reported; putting the decision in a pure function is what kills it. `Policy` and every config struct now derive `deny_unknown_fields`, so an unknown table or a misspelled key is refused at load rather than silently defaulted. Before that, `[general] require_sandbox = true` loaded cleanly and left the flag at its default, which handed an operator an unconfined extraction plus a LOW disclosure that read as protection.
