Description of changes
Adds a patch from bleargh45/Data-UUID#40 for CVE-2013-4184 to
perlPackages.DataUUID
. It removes the vulnerable state file functionality completely.In the case of NixOS the state directory ended up being
/build/
, so saving state didn't work in our case anyway - but could maybe introduce some impurity afaik.Gentoo and Debian has marked it as unimportant since it should be mitigated by
fs.protected_symlinks=1
