Get critical parts of Tails audited
_Originally created by @jvoisin on [#14508 (Redmine)](https://public-redmine-archive.tails.boum.org/code/issues/14508)_
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(-).)
