This looks like a post-exploitation hardening measure: If an attacker is
able to redirect execution flow, they could use that to load a DSO which
contains additional code (or perhaps make the stack executable).
However, the checks are not in the correct place to be effective: If
they are performed before the critical operation, an attacker with
sufficient control over execution flow could simply jump directly to
the code which performs the operation, bypassing the check. The check
would have to be executed unconditionally after the operation and
terminate the process in case a caller violation was detected.
Furthermore, in _dl_check_caller, there was a fallback reading global
writable data (GL(dl_rtld_map).l_map_start and
GL(dl_rtld_map).l_text_end), which could conceivably be targeted by an
attacker to disable the check, too.
Other critical functions (such as system) remain completely
unprotected, so the value of these additional checks does not appear
that large. Therefore this commit removes this functionality.
Combine the four places where link maps are sorted into a single function.
This also moves the logic to skip the first map (representing the main
binary) to the callers.
Since __libc_multiple_libcs is defined as hidden symbol in init-first.c,
it should be always marked with attribute_hidden.

This commit separates allocating and raising exceptions. This
simplifies catching and re-raising them because it is no longer
necessary to make a temporary, on-stack copy of the exception message.
The function _dl_addr_inside_object is simplified by removing
the conditional 'reladdr - l->l_phdr[n].p_vaddr >= 0' which is
always true. The function is refactored into it's own object file
and a unit test added to verify the correct behaviour of the
function.
The commit b632bdd3 moved the setting of the DF_1_NODELETE flag earlier
in the dl_open_worker function. However when calling dlopen with both
RTLD_NODELETE and RTLD_NOLOAD, the pointer returned by _dl_map_object is
NULL. This condition is checked just after setting the flag, while it
should be done before. Fix that.
Changelog:
[BZ #19810]
* elf/dl-open.c (dl_open_worker): Set DF_1_NODELETE flag later.
* elf/tst-noload.c: New test case.
* elf/Makefile (tests): Add tst-noload.
The DF_1_NODELETE flag is set too late when opening a DSO, due to
which, if a DSO is already open, subsequently opening it with
RTLD_NODELETE fails to set the DF_1_NODELETE flag. This patch fixes
this by setting the flag immediately after bumping the opencount.
Verified on x86_64.
[BZ #18676]
* elf/tst-nodelete-opened.c: New test case.
* elf/tst-nodelete-opened-lib.c: New test case module.
* elf/Makefile (tests, modules-names): Use them.
* elf/dl-open.c (dl_open_worker): Set DF_1_NODELETE flag
early.

I've a shared library that contains both undefined and unique symbols.
Then I try to call the following sequence of dlopen:
1. dlopen("./libfoo.so", RTLD_NOW)
2. dlopen("./libfoo.so", RTLD_LAZY | RTLD_GLOBAL)
First dlopen call terminates with error because of undefined symbols,
but STB_GNU_UNIQUE ones set DF_1_NODELETE flag and hence block library
in the memory.
The library goes into inconsistent state as several structures remain
uninitialized. For instance, relocations for GOT table were not performed.
By the time of second dlopen call this library looks like as it would be
fully initialized but this is not true: any call through incorrect GOT
table leads to segmentation fault. On some systems this inconsistency
triggers assertions in the dynamic linker.
This patch adds a parameter to _dl_close_worker to implement forced object
deletion in case of dlopen() failure:
1. Clears DF_1_NODELETE bit if forced, to allow library to be removed from
memory.
2. For each unique symbol that is defined in this object clears
appropriate entry in _ns_unique_sym_table.

The ability to recursively call dlopen is useful for malloc
implementations that wish to load other dynamic modules that
implement reentrant/AS-safe functions to use in their own
implementation.
Given that a user malloc implementation may be called by an
ongoing dlopen to allocate memory the user malloc
implementation interrupts dlopen and if it calls dlopen again
that's a reentrant call.
This patch fixes the issues with the ld.so.cache mapping
and the _r_debug assertion which prevent this from working
as expected.
See:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-12/msg00446.html
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.
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.
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.

When dynamically loading a library along with several dependencies, calls to
_dl_add_to_slotinfo and _dl_update_slotinfo can become intermixed. As a
consequence, _dl_update_slotinfo will update the generation counter of the dtv
although not all of the slots belonging to that generation have been added.
Subsequent calls to _dl_add_to_slotinfo will add more slots to the same
generation, for which no storage will be allocated, as the dtv generation
checks will claim no work is necessary. This will lead to uninitialized dtv
entries and will likely cause a SIGSEGV when thread local variables are
accessed.
