(body
|
||||||
|
(en "On Guix System, setuid programs were, until now, installed as
|
||||||
|
setuid-root @emph{and} setgid-root (in the @file{/run/setuid-programs}
|
||||||
|
directory). However, most of these programs are meant to run as setuid-root,
|
||||||
|
but not setgid-root. Thus, this setting posed a risk of local privilege
|
||||||
|
escalation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This bug has been fixed and users are advised to upgrade their system, with a
|
||||||
|
command along the lines of:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
@example
|
||||||
|
guix system reconfigure /run/current-system/configuration.scm
|
||||||
|
@end example
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Users of Guix on a ``foreign distro'' are unaffected. See
|
||||||
|
@url{https://issues.guix.gnu.org/46395} for more information.")))
