# Release 2.21.0 (2024-03-11)
|
||||
|
||||
- Fix a fixed-output derivation sandbox escape (CVE-2024-27297)
|
||||
|
||||
Cooperating Nix derivations could send file descriptors to files in the Nix
|
||||
store to each other via Unix domain sockets in the abstract namespace. This
|
||||
allowed one derivation to modify the output of the other derivation, after Nix
|
||||
has registered the path as "valid" and immutable in the Nix database.
|
||||
In particular, this allowed the output of fixed-output derivations to be
|
||||
modified from their expected content.
|
||||
|
||||
This isn't the case any more.

Always print lambda formals in lexicographic order rather than the internal, creation-time based symbol order.

This makes printed formals independent of the context they appear in.

- Fix duplicate attribute error positions for `inherit` [#9874](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9874)
|
||||
|
||||
When an inherit caused a duplicate attribute error the position of the error was not reported correctly, placing the error with the inherit itself or at the start of the bindings block instead of the offending attribute name.

- `inherit (x) ...` evaluates `x` only once [#9847](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9847)
|
||||
|
||||
`inherit (x) a b ...` now evaluates the expression `x` only once for all inherited attributes rather than once for each inherited attribute.
|
||||
This does not usually have a measurable impact, but side-effects (such as `builtins.trace`) would be duplicated and expensive expressions (such as derivations) could cause a measurable slowdown.

|
||||
- Functions are printed with more detail [#7145](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7145) [#9606](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9606)
|
||||
|
||||
Functions and `builtins` are printed with more detail in `nix repl`, `nix
|
||||
eval`, `builtins.trace`, and most other places values are printed.
|
||||
|
||||
Before:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ nix repl nixpkgs
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.map
|
||||
«primop»
|
||||
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.map lib.id
|
||||
«primop-app»
|
||||
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.trace lib.id "my-value"
|
||||
trace: <LAMBDA>
|
||||
"my-value"
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix eval --file functions.nix
|
||||
{ id = <LAMBDA>; primop = <PRIMOP>; primop-app = <PRIMOP-APP>; }
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ nix repl nixpkgs
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.map
|
||||
«primop map»
|
||||
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.map lib.id
|
||||
«partially applied primop map»
|
||||
|
||||
nix-repl> builtins.trace lib.id "my-value"
|
||||
trace: «lambda id @ /nix/store/8rrzq23h2zq7sv5l2vhw44kls5w0f654-source/lib/trivial.nix:26:5»
|
||||
"my-value"
|
||||
|
||||
$ nix eval --file functions.nix
|
||||
{ id = «lambda id @ /Users/wiggles/nix/functions.nix:2:8»; primop = «primop map»; primop-app = «partially applied primop map»; }

Leading periods were allowed by accident in Nix 2.4. The Nix team has considered this to be a bug, but this behavior has since been relied on by users, leading to unnecessary difficulties.
|
||||
From now on, leading periods are officially, definitively supported. The names `.` and `..` are disallowed, as well as those starting with `.-` or `..-`.

- Nix commands respect Ctrl-C [#7245](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/7245) [#6995](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/6995) [#9687](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/9687)

||||
|
||||
Previously, many Nix commands would hang indefinitely if Ctrl-C was pressed
|
||||
while performing various operations (including `nix develop`, `nix flake
|
||||
update`, and so on). With several fixes to Nix's signal handlers, Nix commands
|
||||
will now exit quickly after Ctrl-C is pressed.
