One of the requirements to becoming a CVE Numbering Authority (CNA) is
to publish advisories. Do this by maintaining a file for each CVE fixed
in the advisories directory in the source tree. Links to the advisories
can then be shared as:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob_plain;f=advisories/GLIBC-SA-YYYY-NNNN
The file format at the moment is rudimentary and derives from the git
commit format, i.e. a subject line and a potentially multi-paragraph
description and then tags to describe some meta information. This is a
loose format at the moment and could change as we evolve this.
Also add a script process-fixed-cves.sh that processes these advisories
and generates a list to add to NEWS at release time.

This patch is based on __strcmp_power9 and __strlen_power10.
Improvements from __strcmp_power9:
1. Uses new POWER10 instructions
- This code uses lxvp to decrease contention on load
by loading 32 bytes per instruction.
2. Performance implication
- This version has around 30% better performance on average.
- Performance regression is seen for a specific combination
of sizes and alignments. Some of them is observed without
changes also, while rest may be induced by the patch.

The .cfi_return_column directive changes the return column for the whole
FDE range. But the actual intent is to tell the unwinder that the value
in x30 (lr) now resides in x15 after the move, and that is expressed by
the .cfi_register directive.
New implementation is based on the existing exp/exp2, with different
reduction constants and polynomial. Worst-case error in round-to-

The exp/exp2 shared table is reused for exp10 - .rodata size of
e_exp_data increases by 64 bytes.
As for exp/exp2, targets with single-instruction rounding/conversion
intrinsics can use them by toggling TOINT_INTRINSICS=1 and adding the
necessary code to their math_private.h.

The linker just concatenates the .init and .fini sections which
results in the complete _init and _fini functions. If needed the
linker adds padding bytes due to an alignment. GNU ld is adding
NOPs, which is fine. But e.g. mold is adding traps which results
in broken _init and _fini functions.
Thus this patch removes the alignment in .init and .fini sections
in crtn.S files.
We keep the 4 byte function alignment in crti.S files. As the
assembler now also outputs the start of _init and _fini functions
as multiples of 4 byte, it perhaps has to fill it. Although GNU as
is using NOPs here, to be sure, we just keep the alignment with
0x07 (=NOPs) at the end of crti.S.
In order to avoid an obvious NOP slide in _fini, this patch also
uses an lg instead of lgr instruction. Then the emitted instructions
needs a multiple of 4 bytes.
Even for explicit large page support, allocation might use mmap without
the hugepage bit set if the requested size is smaller than
mmap_threshold. For this case where mmap is issued, MAP_HUGETLB is set
iff the allocation size is larger than the used large page.
To force such allocations to use large pages, also tune the mmap_threhold
(if it is not explicit set by a tunable). This forces allocation to
follow the sbrk path, which will fall back to mmap (which will try large
pages before galling back to default mmap).

_dl_assign_tls_modid() assigns a slotinfo entry for a new module, but
does *not* do anything to the generation counter. The first time this
happens, the generation is zero and map_generation() returns the current
generation to be used during relocation processing. However, if
a slotinfo entry is later reused, it will already have a generation
assigned. If this generation has fallen behind the current global max
generation, then this causes an obsolete generation to be assigned
during relocation processing, as map_generation() returns this
generation if nonzero. _dl_add_to_slotinfo() eventually resets the
generation, but by then it is too late. This causes DTV updates to be
skipped, leading to NULL or broken TLS slot pointers and segfaults.
Fix this by resetting the generation to zero in _dl_assign_tls_modid(),
so it behaves the same as the first time a slot is assigned.
_dl_add_to_slotinfo() will still assign the correct static generation
later during module load, but relocation processing will no longer use
an obsolete generation.
Note that slotinfo entry (aka modid) reuse typically happens after a
dlclose and only TLS access via dynamic tlsdesc is affected. Because
tlsdesc is optimized to use the optional part of static TLS, dynamic
tlsdesc can be avoided by increasing the glibc.rtld.optional_static_tls
tunable to a large enough value, or by LD_PRELOAD-ing the affected
modules.

These were broken by the new atan2 functions, as they were only
set up for univariate functions. Arity is now detected from the
input file - this revealed a mistake that the double-precision
inputs were being used for both single- and double-precision
routines, which is now remedied.
Many applications still rely on this prototype. Rebuilds without
this prototype result in an implicit function declaration, which can
introduce security vulnerabilities due to 32-bit pointer truncation.
The _dl_non_dynamic_init does not parse LD_PROFILE, which does not

Loader does not ignore LD_PROFILE in secure-execution mode (different
than man-page states [1]), rather it uses a different path
(/var/profile) and ignore LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT.
Allowing secure-execution profiling is already a non good security
boundary, since it enables different code paths and extra OS access by
the process. But by ignoring LD_PROFILE_OUTPUT, the resulting profile
file might also be acceded in a racy manner since the file name does not
use any process-specific information (such as pid, timing, etc.).
Another side-effect is it forces lazy binding even on libraries that
might be with DF_BIND_NOW.

Some environment variables allow alteration of allocator behavior
across setuid boundaries, where a setuid program may ignore the
tunable, but its non-setuid child can read it and adjust the memory
allocator behavior accordingly.
Most library behavior tunings is limited to the current process and does
not bleed in scope; so it is unclear how pratical this misfeature is.
If behavior change across privilege boundaries is desirable, it would be
better done with a wrapper program around the non-setuid child that sets
these envvars, instead of using the setuid process as the messenger.
The patch as fixes tst-env-setuid, where it fail if any unsecvars is
set. It also adds a dynamic test, although it requires
--enable-hardcoded-path-in-tests so kernel correctly sets the setuid
bit (using the loader command directly would require to set the
setuid bit on the loader itself, which is not a usual deployment).

The tunable privilege levels were a retrofit to try and keep the malloc
tunable environment variables' behavior unchanged across security
boundaries. However, CVE-2023-4911 shows how tricky can be
tunable parsing in a security-sensitive environment.
Not only parsing, but the malloc tunable essentially changes some
semantics on setuid/setgid processes. Although it is not a direct
security issue, allowing users to change setuid/setgid semantics is not
a good security practice, and requires extra code and analysis to check
if each tunable is safe to use on all security boundaries.
It also means that security opt-in features, like aarch64 MTE, would
need to be explicit enabled by an administrator with a wrapper script
or with a possible future system-wide tunable setting.
