Package: firejail
Version: 0.9.64.4-2+deb11u1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected], [email protected]
This upgrade introduced a segmentation fault:
firejail:amd64 0.9.64.4-2 → 0.9.64.4-2+deb11u1
This is a sample command where it fails:
$ firejail --net=vnet0 --dns="$(ip address show dev vnet0 | awk
'/inet\>/{gsub(/[/].*/,""); print $2 }')"\
lynx -dump "$arbitrary_URL"
The network namespace “vnet0” is a Tor middlebox. This command
previously had no problem, but now it crashes with the following
output:
===8<------------------------------
firejail: util.c:910: create_empty_dir_as_root: Assertion `(s.st_mode &
07777) == (mode)' failed.
Error: proc 23396 cannot sync with peer: unexpected EOF
Peer 23406 unexpectedly killed (Segmentation fault)
===8<------------------------------
I have set the severity to /important/ because this defect makes it
impossible to restrict apps to the Tor network. There is no
workaround. Perhaps torsocks will work in cases where the app is
expected to access the network via common system calls, but in cases
where apps bypass systems calls we have a breach. E.g. java apps tend
to not function with torsocks.
