Get critical parts of Tails audited

Originally created by @jvoisin on #14508 (Redmine)

It would be nice to have to following parts or Tails audited:

  • Audit whatever upgrade mechanism we replace the current Tails Upgrader with in the “Rethink upgrade/installation” effort (possible in ca. 2 years probably).
    • Audit the current implementation of Tails Upgrader. (Low prio since it will be obsoleted by the above point. ca. 1 kLoC of perl (but big parts are irrelevant since it is about generating IUKs.)
  • Audit Tails Security Check (config/chroot_local-includes/usr/local/bin/tails-security-check, ~200 LoC.)
  • Torification escapes for the Live user and other critical users
  • Persistence
    • Arbitrary persistence by the Live user
    • Permissions of the device and data of the persistent device (Audit should be less than a day)
  • Audit anonym’s Thunderbird auto-config patches (Javascript, 9 files changed, 254 insertions(+), 99 deletions(-).)
