Subject: [PATCH] Allow loading token handlers from the default search path
Since [1] landed in cryptsetup, token handlers (libcryptsetup-token-*.so)
are loaded from a fixed path defined at compile-time. This is
problematic with NixOS since it introduces a dependency cycle
between cryptsetup and systemd.
This downstream patch [2] allows loading token plugins from the
default library search path. This approach is not accepted upstream [3]
due to security concerns, but the potential attack vectors require
root access and they are sufficiently addressed:
* cryptsetup could be used as a setuid binary (not used in NixOS).
In this case, LD_LIBRARY_PATH is ignored because of secure-execution
mode.
* cryptsetup running as root could lead to a malicious token handler
being loaded through LD_LIBRARY_PATH. However, fixing the path
doesn't prevent the same malicious .so being loaded through LD_PRELOAD.
