Motivation for this change
Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

(cherry picked from commit 4f519e5)
Reason: Security update: "The pam_fscrypt module in fscrypt before 0.2.4
may incorrectly restore primary and supplementary group IDs to the
values associated with the root user, which allows attackers to gain
privileges via a successful login through certain applications that use
Linux-PAM (aka pam)."
