## Summary - Updates the Linux bubblewrap sandbox args to mount a minimal `/dev` using `--dev /dev` instead of only binding `/dev/null`. tools needing entropy (git, crypto libs, etc.) can fail. - Changed mount order so `--dev /dev` is added before writable-root `--bind` mounts, preserving writable `/dev/*` submounts like `/dev/shm` ## Why Fixes sandboxed command failures when reading `/dev/urandom` (and similar standard device-node access). Fixes https://github.com/openai/codex/issues/12056 |

codex-linux-sandbox
This crate is responsible for producing:
- a
codex-linux-sandboxstandalone executable for Linux that is bundled with the Node.js version of the Codex CLI - a lib crate that exposes the business logic of the executable as
run_main()so that- the
codex-execCLI can check if its arg0 iscodex-linux-sandboxand, if so, execute as if it werecodex-linux-sandbox - this should also be true of the
codexmultitool CLI
- the
On Linux, the bubblewrap pipeline uses the vendored bubblewrap path compiled into this binary.
Current Behavior
- Legacy Landlock + mount protections remain available as the legacy pipeline.
- The bubblewrap pipeline is standardized on the vendored path.
- During rollout, the bubblewrap pipeline is gated by the temporary feature
flag
use_linux_sandbox_bwrap(CLI-calias forfeatures.use_linux_sandbox_bwrap; legacy remains default when off). - When enabled, the bubblewrap pipeline applies
PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVSand a seccomp network filter in-process. - When enabled, the filesystem is read-only by default via
--ro-bind / /. - When enabled, writable roots are layered with
--bind <root> <root>. - When enabled, protected subpaths under writable roots (for example
.git, resolvedgitdir:, and.codex) are re-applied as read-only via--ro-bind. - When enabled, symlink-in-path and non-existent protected paths inside
writable roots are blocked by mounting
/dev/nullon the symlink or first missing component. - When enabled, the helper isolates the PID namespace via
--unshare-pid. - When enabled and network is restricted without proxy routing, the helper also
isolates the network namespace via
--unshare-net. - When enabled, it mounts a fresh
/procvia--proc /procby default, but you can skip this in restrictive container environments with--no-proc.
Notes
- The CLI surface still uses legacy names like
codex debug landlock.
