Description

http://security.stackexchange.com/a/107853/7497

Docker has a blacklist approach for security, which isn't ideal. We should be using a whitelisting sandbox.

Research direction

Start with the linked security discussion, then inspect how the Rust Playground currently uses Docker to sandbox executions. Compare the proposed gaol or seccomp whitelisting approach with the existing blacklist model. Done means a reviewed sandboxing design and an implementation that preserves required playground behavior while enforcing the intended restrictions.
