Fix security vulnerabilities in libattr1 and libacl1

[naomi-robusta]

Summary

This change addresses security vulnerabilities in the libattr1 and libacl1 packages by upgrading them to fixed versions from the Debian unstable repository.

Key Changes

• Added a new RUN instruction in the Dockerfile to upgrade libattr1 (fixes CVE-2026-54371) and libacl1 (fixes CVE-2026-54369 and CVE-2026-54370)
• Configured the Debian unstable repository as a low-priority source to pull only the fixed versions of these two packages without upgrading other dependencies
• Added version verification checks to ensure the installed versions meet the minimum fixed versions (libattr1 >= 1:2.6.0 and libacl1 >= 2.4.0)
• Cleaned up temporary apt configuration files after installation

Implementation Details

• The unstable repository is pinned with a priority of 100 (very low) to prevent unintended upgrades of other packages
• Temporary apt sources and preferences files are removed after the upgrade to keep the image clean
• Version checks using dpkg --compare-versions validate that the security fixes were successfully applied
• This approach is necessary because Trixie (the current Debian stable) does not yet have these security fixes available

Walkthrough

The Dockerfile temporarily enables Debian unstable with package-specific pinning, installs minimum versions of libattr1 and libacl1, removes the temporary configuration, and validates the installed versions.

Changes

Docker library installation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Temporary Debian library setup and validation Dockerfile	The build configures Debian unstable with package-specific pinning, installs libattr1 and libacl1, removes the repository and pinning configuration, and fails if either installed version is below the required minimum.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ff0e

The image upgrade can pull unrelated packages from Debian unstable, potentially changing runtime dependencies unexpectedly. Tighten the repository pinning and fail the build if any package other than the intended security fixes is selected before merging.

Clean APT lists in this RUN instruction.

apt-get update writes package indexes into this image layer. The cleanup at line 47 runs in a later layer, so the indexes remain part of the image's cumulative size even though they are hidden from the final filesystem. Docker recommends removing APT lists in the same RUN instruction. (docs.docker.com)

Move the existing cleanup to the end of this command.

Proposed fix

     && dpkg --compare-versions "$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' libattr1)" ge 1:2.6.0 \
-    && dpkg --compare-versions "$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' libacl1)" ge 2.4.0
+    && dpkg --compare-versions "$(dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}' libacl1)" ge 2.4.0 \
+    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

repository setup so the wildcard package pin uses priority -1, while retaining
priority 990 for libattr1 and libacl1. Ensure the installation step fails if any
package other than those explicitly allowed is selected from unstable.
