Subject: [PATCH] Don't follow symlinks when mounting persisted directories
These directories are in a location under application control, so we
can't trust them to not be a symlink outside of the files accessibe to
the application.
Continue to treat --persist=/foo as --persist=foo for backwards compat,
since this is how it (accidentally) worked before, but print a warning.
Don't allow ".." elements in persist paths: these would not be useful
anyway, and are unlikely to be in use, however they could potentially
be used to confuse the persist path handling.
This partially addresses CVE-2024-42472. If only one instance of the
malicious or compromised app is run at a time, the vulnerability
is avoided. If two instances can run concurrently, there is a
time-of-check/time-of-use issue remaining, which can only be resolved
with changes to bubblewrap; this will be resolved in a separate commit,
because the bubblewrap dependency might be more difficult to provide in
LTS distributions.

[smcv: Use g_warning() if unable to create --persist paths]
[smcv: Use stat() to detect symlinks and warn about them]

From dd8a68c126b8f73a58a37353b34ec25179859d79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com>

Subject: [PATCH] persist directories: Pass using new bwrap --bind-fd option
Instead of passing a /proc/self/fd bind mount we use --bind-fd, which
has two advantages:
* bwrap closes the fd when used, so it doesn't leak into the started app
* bwrap ensures that what was mounted was the passed in fd (same dev/ino),
as there is a small (required) gap between symlink resolve and mount
where the target path could be replaced.
Please note that this change requires an updated version of bubblewrap.
