Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #24125 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.8.x.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
When using the Client FS APIs, we check to ensure that reads don't traverse into the allocation's secret dir and private dir. But this check can be bypassed on case-insensitive file systems (ex. Windows, macOS, and Linux with obscure ext4 options enabled). This allows a user with
read-fs
permissions but notalloc-exec
permissions to read from the secrets dir.This changeset updates the check so that it's case-insensitive. This risks false positives for escape (see linked Go issue), but only if a task without filesystem isolation deliberately writes into the task working directory to do so, which is a fail-safe failure mode.
