v0.6.0 -- "By the Power of Greyskull!"

While quite small code-wise, this release marks a very key point in the development of filepath-securejoin.

filepath-securejoin was originally intended (back in 2017) to simply be a single-purpose library that would take some common code used in container runtimes (specifically, Docker's FollowSymlinksInScope) and make it more general-purpose (with the eventual goals of it ending up in the Go stdlib).

Of course, I quickly discovered that this problem was actually far more complicated to solve when dealing with racing attackers, which lead to me developing openat2(2) and libpathrs. I had originally planned for libpathrs to completely replace filepath-securejoin "once it was ready" but in the interim we needed to fix several race attacks in runc as part of security advisories. Obviously we couldn't require the usage of a pre-0.1 Rust library in runc so it was necessary to port bits of libpathrs into filepath-securejoin. (Ironically the first prototypes of libpathrs were originally written in Go and then rewritten to Rust, so the code in filepath-securejoin is actually Go code that was rewritten to Rust then re-rewritten to Go.)

It then became clear that pure-Go libraries will likely not be willing to require CGo for all of their builds, so it was necessary to accept that filepath-securejoin will need to stay. As such, in v0.5.0 we provided more pure-Go implementations of features from libpathrs but moved them into pathrs-lite subpackage to clarify what purpose these helpers serve.

This release finally closes the loop and makes it so that pathrs-lite can transparently use libpathrs (via a libpathrs build-tag). This means that upstream libraries can use the pure Go version if they prefer, but downstreams (either downstream library users or even downstream distributions) are able to migrate to libpathrs for all usages of pathrs-lite in an entire Go binary.

I should make it clear that I do not plan to port the rest of libpathrs to Go, as I do not wish to maintain two copies of the same codebase. pathrs-lite already provides the core essentials necessary to operate on paths safely for most modern systems. Users who want additional hardening or more ergonomic APIs are free to use cyphar.com/go-pathrs (libpathrs's Go bindings).

Breaking

• The deprecated MkdirAll, MkdirAllHandle, OpenInRoot, OpenatInRoot and Reopen wrappers have been removed. Please switch to using pathrs-lite directly.

Added

• pathrs-lite now has support for using libpathrs as a backend. This is opt-in and can be enabled at build time with the libpathrs build tag. The intention is to allow for downstream libraries and other projects to

Breaking

• The deprecated MkdirAll, MkdirAllHandle, OpenInRoot, OpenatInRoot and Reopen wrappers have been removed. Please switch to using pathrs-lite directly.

Added

• pathrs-lite now has support for using libpathrs as a backend. This is opt-in and can be enabled at build time with the libpathrs build tag. The intention is to allow for downstream libraries and other projects to make use of the pure-Go github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin/pathrs-lite package and distributors can then opt-in to using libpathrs for the entire binary if they wish.

[0.5.1] - 2025-10-31

Spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine!

Changed

• openat2 can return -EAGAIN if it detects a possible attack in certain scenarios (namely if there was a rename or mount while walking a path with a .. component). While this is necessary to avoid a denial-of-service in the kernel, it does require retry loops in userspace.

  In previous versions, pathrs-lite would retry openat2 32 times before returning an error, but we've received user reports that this limit can be hit on systems with very heavy load. In some synthetic benchmarks (testing the worst-case of an attacker doing renames in a tight loop on every core of a 16-core machine) we managed to get a ~3% failure rate in runc. We have improved this situation in two ways:

  • We have now increased this limit to 128, which should be good enough for most use-cases without becoming a denial-of-service vector (the number of syscalls called by the O_PATH resolver in a typical case is within the same ballpark). The same benchmarks show a failure rate of ~0.12% which (while not zero) is probably sufficient for most users.

  • In addition, we now return a unix.EAGAIN error that is bubbled up and can be detected by callers. This means that callers with stricter requirements to avoid spurious errors can choose to do their own infinite EAGAIN retry loop (though we would strongly recommend users use time-based deadlines in such retry loops to avoid potentially unbounded denials-of-service).
