@r-burns:matrix.orgr-burnsPR to address CVE-2026-12043 HIGH Heap double-free in AWS Common Runtime https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/531504 Messaging here because this is a dependency of Nix via its AWS support which is typically enabled by default. Not sure of the severity here, perhaps low because it's only a concern if fetching a path from a compromised S3 bucket? Or perhaps not a concern at all if Nix only calls out to aws-c-common at runtime, not the aws-c-http component (not sure). Just wanted to point it out here so someone more knowledgeable can triage appropriately.19:22:52

On it in a couple hours, looks like libmount stuff

The http component usage should be quite limited? This presumably also affects the cpp sdk (used by older nix versions)? If not, the http client usage should be limited to doing auth and such – the actual download is done by libcurl

@r-burns:matrix.orgr-burnsIt looks like modern nix 2.34 still links against it, just via aws-crt-cpp instead of aws-sdk-cpp. But yes, it looks like the only usage of AWS libs in modern nix is now in libstore/aws-creds.cc, which only appears to be using aws-c-auth and aws-c-io functionality. So yeah Nix is probably unaffected then, thanks for clarifying :)22:59:47

@stigo:matrix.orgstigoI'm looking at all outstanding perlPackages vuln patches today12:12:33
@r-burns:matrix.orgr-burns ^ maybe not fully accurate as aws-c-auth appears to call out to aws-c-http internally, but they're not interacted with directly by Nix, at least 13:39:22
