RUSTSEC-2021-0119: Out-of-bounds write in nix::unistd::getgrouplist

Out-of-bounds write in nix::unistd::getgrouplist

Details
Package	nix
Version	0.18.0
URL	nix-rust/nix#1541
Date	2021-09-27
Patched versions	^0.20.2,^0.21.2,^0.22.2,>=0.23.0
Unaffected versions	<0.16.0

On certain platforms, if a user has more than 16 groups, the
nix::unistd::getgrouplist function will call the libc getgrouplist
function with a length parameter greater than the size of the buffer it
provides, resulting in an out-of-bounds write and memory corruption.

The libc getgrouplist function takes an in/out parameter ngroups
specifying the size of the group buffer. When the buffer is too small to
hold all of the reqested user's group memberships, some libc
implementations, including glibc and Solaris libc, will modify ngroups
to indicate the actual number of groups for the user, in addition to
returning an error. The version of nix::unistd::getgrouplist in nix
0.16.0 and up will resize the buffer to twice its size, but will not
read or modify the ngroups variable. Thus, if the user has more than
twice as many groups as the initial buffer size of 8, the next call to
getgrouplist will then write past the end of the buffer.

The issue would require editing /etc/groups to exploit, which is usually
only editable by the root user.

See advisory page for additional details.
