David Benjamin f68d83037d Fix SandboxBPF tests under -fsanitize=vptr
The new Ubuntu picked up a newer glibc, which included this change:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=efc6b2dbc47231dee7a7ac39beec808deb4e4d1f

Now the pipe() function is implemented in terms of the pipe2 syscall, so
we need to allow it on all architectures, not just aarch64.

Sandbox Library

This directory contains platform-specific sandboxing libraries. Sandboxing is a technique that can improve the security of an application by separating untrustworthy code (or code that handles untrustworthy data) and restricting its privileges and capabilities.

Each platform relies on the operating system's process primitive to isolate code into distinct security principals, and platform-specific technologies are used to implement the privilege reduction. At a high-level:

  • mac/ uses the Seatbelt sandbox. See the detailed design for more.
  • linux/ uses namespaces and Seccomp-BPF. See the detailed design for more.
  • win/ uses a combination of restricted tokens, distinct job objects, alternate desktops, and integrity levels. See the detailed design for more.

Built on top of the low-level sandboxing library is the //sandbox/policy component, which provides concrete policies and helper utilities for sandboxing specific Chromium processes and services. The core sandbox library cannot depend on the policy component.
