Subject: [bug#70022] [PATCH 0/2] Binary Installation: Add more distros.
Date: Wed, 27 Mar 2024 17:09:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87wmpnvepc.fsf@pelzflorian.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1711495227.git.GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> (Denis Carikli's message of "Wed, 27 Mar 2024 00:45:39 +0100")

Hi Denis.  This is in principle a great improvement, however note that
recently (4th March or so) a local privilege escalation vulnerability in
guix-daemon was discovered
<https://guix.gnu.org/en/blog/2024/fixed-output-derivation-sandbox-bypass-cve-2024-27297/>
and many distros have not fixed it yet, such as AUR and therefore your
Parabola pcr package or Debian’s long-term releases, which Debian’s guix
packager complained about
<https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2024-27297>.

Perhaps we should think about how and where we can also instruct users
to upgrade their daemon in a timely manner.  This will be different for
guix packages (that configure a vulnerable daemon systemd service) and
for guix-install (where it is enough to follow the guix pull news file,
if the admin actually uses guix pull themself and can see the news).

Otherwise LGTM.

Regards,
Florian
