Updates must be downloaded by VMs. The downloads are placed into a bind-mounted directory. The VM can write whatever it wants into that directory. This includes symlinks that subsequent code might open, which would create a path traversal vulnerability. It also includes paths with names containing containing terminal escape sequences, newlines, or other nastiness. Furthermore, the directory should not have any subdirectories either. Add a simple C program that checks for such ugliness and indicates (via its exit code) if the VM misbehaved. systemd-sysupdate can leave behind temporary files with names starting with '.', so delete them instead of failing. Linux can lose cache coherency if there is an I/O error, so call syncfs() on the directory before checking anything. For the same reason, fsync() the directory if any hidden files were deleted. The directory checker also serves another critical function: it checks if the VM actually downloaded anything. Otherwise, network problems could cause updates to silently do nothing. Specifically, it checks that the VM provided a file starting with the prefix "SHA256SUMS.". These will be the last ones the in-VM updater downloads. An additional mode is provided to clean out all such files. This will be used to ensure that before the in-VM updater runs, no such files are present. Hence, if the VM didn't actually download anything, the user will get a clear error instead of a false success message or a confusing error. Signed-off-by: Demi Marie Obenour Reviewed-by: Alyssa Ross --- Changes since v2: - Purge leftover temporary files rather than returning an error. - Split into two modes: one that deletes signature files, and one that checks that at least one signature file exists. This allows checking that the VM actually sent something.
