Subject: bug#50916: Experimental `guix container PID program args` not working as expected
Date: Sat, 6 Aug 2022 19:56:29 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220806195629.054aef70@aria> (raw)

This bug still persists and effectively bypasses container sandboxing:
1. Start a container shell.
$ guix shell --container
2. Exec a shell inside the container. Here it is a foreign distro's
bash, and assume that there is only 1 container running.
$ guix container exec $(pgrep --full 'guix shell --container') /bin/bash
3. Observe that path is not empty.
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
This shell can access commands outside the container, such as kill
(part of util-linux).
4. Kill the container from the shell inside the container.
[env] $ kill -9 $(pgrep --full 'guix shell --container')
[env] $ echo $?
0
The shell still persists in the container, even though the container
itself is killed.
The problem is that in guix/scripts/container/exec.scm, execlp is used
to launch program with args. info guile says this about execlp:
Similar to ‘execl’, however if FILENAME does not contain a slash then
the file to execute will be located by searching the directories
listed in the ‘PATH’ environment variable.
As seen above $PATH is set to a subset of the host system's PATH, not
the PATH inside the guix container.
