Currently for AF_INET lookups from the hosts file, buffer sizes larger
than INT_MAX silently overflow and may result in access beyond bounds
of a buffer. This happens when the number of results in an AF_INET
lookup in /etc/hosts are very large.
There are two aspects to the problem. One problem is that the size
computed from the buffer size is stored into an int, which results in
overflow for large sizes. Additionally, even if this size was
expanded, the function used to read content into the buffer (fgets)
accepts only int sizes. As a result, the fix is to have a function
wrap around fgets that calls it multiple times with int sizes if
necessary.
Resolves#16072 (CVE-2013-4458).
This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is
called with AF_INET6. The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914,
but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.
It was noted in 2005 (BZ #832), 2006 (BZ #3266), and 2007 [1] that ldd
fails on shells other than Bash >= 3.0 because of the pipefail option
around try_trace (added on 2004-12-08). EGLIBC was patched in 2008 [2]
(r6912) to make the pipefail check run only on shells that support it,
but RTLD output would still be lost on other shells with certain SELinux
policies.
This patch rewrites try_trace to work on any POSIX-conformant shell in
such a way as to also work with such SELinux policies. It also obviates
one difference between glibc and EGLIBC.

Partially revert commits 2b766585f9 and
de2fd463b1, which were intended to fix BZ#11741
but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could,
in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and
potentially even write this data to the file.
Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in
stdio-common/vfprintf.c.
Fixes BZ #15988.
The check had a typo - it checked for PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP instead
of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NORMAL_NP. It has now been replaced by the
already existing convenience macro USE_REQUEUE_PI.
strcoll is implemented using a cache for indices and weights of
collation sequences in the strings so that subsequent passes do not
have to search through collation data again. For very large string
inputs, the cache size computation could overflow. In such a case,
use the fallback function that does not cache indices and weights of
collation sequences.
Fixes CVE-2012-4412.
strcoll currently falls back to alloca if malloc fails, resulting in a
possible stack overflow. This patch implements sequence traversal and
comparison without caching indices and rules.
Fixes CVE-2012-4424.
The pointer guard used for pointer mangling was not initialized for
static applications resulting in the security feature being disabled.
The pointer guard is now correctly initialized to a random value for
static applications. Existing static applications need to be
recompiled to take advantage of the fix.
The test tst-ptrguard1-static and tst-ptrguard1 add regression
coverage to ensure the pointer guards are sufficiently random
and initialized to a default value.
The end of the "Parsing of Floats" subsection currently reads:

Since the dlopen funcs might invoke a constructor that calls a func

them as leaf funcs.
Similarly, dlclose might invoke a destructor that calls a func that

The helper binary pt_chown tricked into granting access to another
user's pseudo-terminal.
Pre-conditions for the attack:
* Attacker with local user account
* Kernel with FUSE support
* "user_allow_other" in /etc/fuse.conf
* Victim with allocated slave in /dev/pts
Using the setuid installed pt_chown and a weak check on whether a file
descriptor is a tty, an attacker could fake a pty check using FUSE and
trick pt_chown to grant ownership of a pty descriptor that the current
user does not own. It cannot access /dev/pts/ptmx however.
In most modern distributions pt_chown is not needed because devpts
is enabled by default. The fix for this CVE is to disable building
and using pt_chown by default. We still provide a configure option
to enable hte use of pt_chown but distributions do so at their own
risk.
The generated header is compiled with `-ffreestanding' to avoid any
circular dependencies against the installed implementation headers.
Such a dependency would require the implementation header to be
installed before the generated header could be built (See bug 15711).
In current practice the generated header dependencies do not include
any of the implementation headers removed by the use of `-ffreestanding'.

This change creates a link map in static executables to serve as the
global search list for dlopen. It fixes a problem with the inability
to access the global symbol object and a crash on an attempt to map a
DSO into the global scope. Some code that has become dead after the
addition of this link map is removed too and test cases are provided.
Many Linux arches require fixed mmaps to be aligned higher than pagesize,
so use the SHMLBA define as it represents this quantity exactly.

Static applications that call pthread_exit on the main
thread segfault. This is because after a thread terminates
__libc_start_main decrements __nptl_nthreads which is only
defined in pthread_create. Therefore the right solution is
to add a requirement to pthread_create from pthread_exit.

[BZ #12310]
* pthread_exit.c: Add reference to pthread_create.
This patch introduces two new convenience functions to set the default
thread attributes used for creating threads. This allows a programmer
to set the default thread attributes just once in a process and then
run pthread_create without additional attributes.
Resolves BZ #15618.
pthread_attr_getaffinity_np may write beyond bounds of the input
cpuset buffer if the size of the input buffer is smaller than the
buffer present in the input pthread attributes. Fix is to copy to the
extent of the minimum of the source and the destination.
In 128-bit IBM long double the precision of the type
decreases as you approach subnormal numbers, equaling
that of a double for subnormal numbers. Therefore
adjust the computation in ulp to use 2^(MIN_EXP - MANT_DIG)
which is correct for FP_SUBNORMAL for all types.
Resolves: #15465
The program name may be unavailable if the user application tampers
with argc and argv[]. Some parts of the dynamic linker caters for
this while others don't, so this patch consolidates the check and
fallback into a single macro and updates all users.
Fixes 15381.
Using wide character function is on byte oriented memstream is undefined
behaviour. This behaviour was masked by not initializing wide struct
info. We now initialize it to cause a predictable crash.
This patch fixes two issues, and perhaps should be two distinct commits,
but I present it here as one for the sake of completeness.
Commit 006dd86111 fails to check malloc's
return in intl/dcigettext.c (_nl_find_msg):
~~~
freemem_size = INITIAL_BLOCK_SIZE;
newmem = (transmem_block_t *) malloc (freemem_size);
...
newmem->next = transmem_list;
transmem_list = newmem;
~~~
If malloc fails then newmem is NULL then newmem->next results in a
fault.
The fix is easy enough, check for newmem != NULL, and fall through to
the error condition below which returns (char *) -1 e.g. resource error.
The problem is that returning (char *) -1 will break all sorts of other
code, so while what we did is correct, the real failure case fix is
slightly broader.
There are 4 other places where _nl_find_msg is called, one is OK, the
other three are fixed to handle -1 error return value.
No regressions on x86-64 or x86.
However, no regressions isn't really a useful metric for this code.
The change was tested as documented here:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Testing/WhiteBox
using SystemTap for fault injection to simulate malloc failure.

NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL may mean that a necessary input resource is not
available. This could occur in a number of cases including when the
network is down, system runs out of file descriptors, etc. The
correct differentiator in such a case is the h_errno, which gives the
nature of failure. In case of failures other than a simple 'not
found', we set h_errno as NETDB_INTERNAL and let errno be the
identifier for the exact error.
Resolves: #15424
The compiler would optimize the benchmark function call out of the
loop and call it only once, resulting in blazingly fast times for some
benchmarks (notably atan, sin and cos). Mark the inputs as volatile
so that the code is forced to read again from the input for each
iteration.
[BZ #15442] This adds support for the inverse interpretation of the
quiet bit of IEEE 754 floating-point NaN data that some processors
use. This includes in particular MIPS architecture processors; the
payload used for the canonical qNaN encoding is updated accordingly
so as not to interfere with the quiet bit.
The following patch fixes both _FPU_GETCW and
_FPU_SETCW for hppa. The initial implementation was
flawed and not well tested. We failed to set cw,
and passed in the value of a register to fldd.
This patch fixes both of those errors and allows
the libm tests to pass without failure.

This only really manifests itself when there are no spaces between
format specifiers, which is not allowed by POSIX, but is allowed by
the glibc implementation.
Fixes#15346.
The POSIX description of getdate allows for extra spaces in the
getdate input string. __getdate_r uses strptime internally, which
works fine with extra spaces between format strings (and hence within
an input string) but not with leading and trailing spaces. So we trim
off the leading and trailing spaces before we pass it on to strptime.
The seen array was doubled in size recently, but the memset to clear
the array was not adjusted. We adjust the memset to always be correct
regardless of the size of seen.

[BZ #15309]
* elf/dl-open.c (dl_open_worker): memset all of seen array.
This change does two things:
* Treats a target i386-* as if it were i686.
* Fails configure if the user is generating code
for i386.
We no longer support i386 code-generation because the i386
lacks the atomic operations we need in glibc.
You can still configure for i386-*, but you get i686 code.
You can't build with --march=i386, --mtune=i386 or a compiler
that defaults to i386 code-generation.
I've added two i386 entries in the master todo list to discuss
merging and renaming:
http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#i386
The failure modes are fail-safe here. You compile for i386,
get i686, and try to run on i386 and it fails. The configure
log has a warning saying we elided to i686. There is no situation
that I can see where we run into any serious problems.
The patch makes the current state better in that we get less
confused users and we build successfully in more default
configurations.
The next enhancement would be to add --march=i?86
as suggested in #c20 of BZ#10062 for any i?86-* builds, which
would solve the problem of a 32-bit compiler that defaults to
i386 code-gen and glibc configured for i686-* target. Which
previously failed at build time, and now will fail at configure
time (requires adding --march=i686).
Updated NEWS with BZ #10060 and #10062.

On kernel versions earlier than 2.6.29, the Linux kernel exported a
sysctl called restrict_chown for xfs, which could be used to allow
chown to users other than the owner. 2.6.29 removed this support,
causing the open_not_cancel_2 to fail and thus modify errno. The fix
is to save and restore errno so that the caller sees it as unmodified.
Additionally, since the code to check the sysctl is not useful on
newer kernels, we add an ifdef so that in future the code block gets
rmeoved completely.
Fixes BZ #15304.
The *initgroups_dyn functions are called with a group argument. This
group gid is usually skipped while populating the grouplist since the
caller adds that group id in advance.
The hesiod initgroups_dyn implementation however adds the group gid to
the list if it does not already exist. While it works fine for the
usual initgroups, it breaks nscd since it calls initgroups_dyn with -1
as the gid (to have all groups included).
