fix(tauri): stop host binaries inheriting the AppImage library path, and close the pty descriptors on a failed attach - #286
Conversation
close the pty descriptors on a failed attach Four defects from a read-only audit of the Rust backend, each with a test that fails against the old code. The audit is in docs/notes/audit-backend-rust.md and its reasoning is kept next to the fix, including the hypotheses that were disproved. git_cmd() now clears LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and diff_numstat goes through it. An AppImage build exports a library path pointing at the bundled libraries, which shadow the host ones a child git links against (libcurl, libssl, libz, libpcre2). The child dies with a symbol lookup error, and for `git diff --numstat` that is indistinguishable from "this file did not change", so session changes silently showed 0 additions and 0 deletions. The removal lives in the shared constructor rather than at the call site, so every git spawn inherits it. diff_numstat was the only production spawn outside the documented one-git-constructor rule, and it was also skipping Flatpak routing and the GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT/GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKS pair. Two tests in fs/git.rs. The second runs a stub git that exits 127 when it sees the variable, with the variable set on the process rather than with .env(), because a later .env() lands after the removal and wins. clipboard.rs gets the same treatment through a helper_cmd, for the four wl-paste, wl-copy and xclip spawns. The helper loop already reads a spawn failure as "this helper yielded", so on an AppImage the user was told no clipboard helper was installed while wl-clipboard worked in a terminal. pty.rs closes master and slave when the stdio attach fails. open_pty returns bare i32s with no owner and its own error paths have already run, so a dup failure leaked two descriptors per attempt for the life of the process. The test asserts through fcntl rather than by counting /proc/self/fd, which the parallel test harness makes unreliable. pty.rs process_label now goes through host::command, matching the shell spawn on the same path. Latent, since Flatpak was removed in 0.3.5-alpha. The audit also corrects two counts in its own portrait: 169 commands rather than 126, because 43 use #[tauri::command(async)], and zero production unwraps rather than one, since the fs/path.rs hit is inside a test. 427 lib tests pass, up from 423. cargo fmt and clippy -D warnings are clean.

Corrija a afirmação sobre a detecção de descritores vazados.
ASan e MSan continuam úteis para detectar erros de memória no código unsafe. Eles não detectam descritores abertos sem fechamento. O teste com fcntl é a verificação adequada para esse vazamento.

Resolva os helpers de clipboard no namespace em que serão executados.
Dentro do Flatpak, helper_cmd executa o caminho recebido com flatpak-spawn --host. Porém, session_helpers sempre resolve wl-paste, wl-copy e xclip com resolve_gui_binary, que pesquisa o PATH do sandbox. Um helper instalado somente no host pode não ser encontrado. Um caminho encontrado apenas no sandbox também pode falhar no host. Nesse caso, as operações de clipboard de arquivos podem falhar.

Isole a alteração de ambiente em um subprocesso de teste.
O teste altera LD_LIBRARY_PATH no processo que executa a suíte paralela. No Linux, set_var e remove_var podem causar comportamento indefinido quando outras threads consultam o ambiente. Essa restrição existe mesmo nas edições em que essas funções não exigem unsafe. (doc.rust-lang.org)
Execute a verificação em um subprocesso isolado. Configure LD_LIBRARY_PATH no Command que inicia esse subprocesso e chame git_cmd() dentro dele. Remova também o remove_var da Line 1883. Assim, o teste preserva a verificação de herança sem alterar o ambiente compartilhado.

The end-to-end guard against the AppImage library path sets the variable on the process and then removed it unconditionally. Run the suite from inside an AppImage and there is a real value there, so that remove would take it away from every later test that spawns a child -- the same failure this test exists to catch, caused by the test. The prior value is captured and put back, and only a variable that was absent is removed.
a_failed_stdio_attach_closes_the_pty_descriptors failed about 1 run in 7 with 'a failed attach leaked the master fd'. Nothing leaked. The test runs in parallel, and between the close and the check another test can be handed the same descriptor number, so fd_is_open reads a live fd belonging to someone else as ours. It now compares what the descriptor points at, through /proc/self/fd. A closed number with no taker reads as None and a reused one reads as something else, so both are caught and the reuse is not. Still fails when the cleanup is removed: verified. This also drops one source of the parallel flake the audit notes mention; the others are pre-existing and not this PR's to fix.

What changed
Four defects found by a read-only audit of the Rust backend, plus the audit
itself. Each fix ships with a test that fails without it.
Why
An AppImage build exports an
LD_LIBRARY_PATHpointing at the bundledlibraries, which shadow the host ones a child process links against. The child
dies with a symbol lookup error.
src-tauri/src/external_url.rs:1-7alreadydocuments this for
xdg-openand clears the variable; three other host-binaryspawns did not.
For
git diff --no-index --numstatthe failure is invisible: it returns"nothing changed", so session changes silently showed 0 additions and 0
deletions. The same applied to the clipboard helpers, where a dead helper is
read as "this one yielded, try the next", so the user was told no clipboard
helper was installed while wl-clipboard worked in a terminal.
The four fixes
git_cmd()clearsLD_LIBRARY_PATHanddiff_numstatgoes through it.The removal lives in the shared constructor rather than at the call site, so
every git spawn inherits it.
diff_numstatwas the only production spawnoutside the documented one-git-constructor rule, and was also skipping Flatpak
routing and the
GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT/GIT_OPTIONAL_LOCKSpair.clipboard.rsgets ahelper_cmdfor the fourwl-paste,wl-copyandxclipspawns, same reasongit_cmdexists.pty.rsclosesmasterandslavewhen the stdio attach fails.open_ptyreturns barei32s with no owner and its own error paths havealready run, so a
dupfailure (EMFILE) leaked two descriptors per attempt forthe life of the process.
pty.rs process_labelgoes throughhost::command, matching the shellspawn on the same path. Latent, since Flatpak was removed in 0.3.5-alpha.
The audit
docs/notes/audit-backend-rust.mdis kept as written, so the reasoning and thedisproofs sit next to the fix. Five plausible mechanisms turned out to be
handled already, and they carry the measurement that disproved each. Two would
have been confident wrong reports: the predicted
pty.rs:265second-dupleak, which
Fileownership already covers, and a revision conflict returningfrom inside an open transaction, which rusqlite rolls back on drop. A sixth, a
fifth drifted TS/Rust boundary, does not exist: all 156
invokenames haveregistrations.
The audit also corrects two counts in the portrait it was given: 169 commands
rather than 126, because 43 use
#[tauri::command(async)], and zeroproduction
unwrap()rather than one, since thefs/path.rshit is inside atest.
UI
None. No behaviour changes on a native install; the diff only takes effect
where the app exports a bundled library path.
Validation
cargo fmt --check→ cleancargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings→ cleancargo check→ cleancargo test→ 427 passed, 0 failed (was 423; +4 new)npm run check:webnot run: no TypeScript file is touchednpm run check:version→ not run, the version did not moveEach new test was confirmed to fail against the old code before being
confirmed to pass against the new one.
One caveat, pre-existing and unrelated:
harness::binary_override_testscanfail with
Text file busy (os error 26)under parallel load. It reproducedonce on
f849f20bwith none of this branch applied, and did not reproduce in30+ later runs on either commit. It writes a script and execs it, which is an
ETXTBSY race. Worth a separate look.
