The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable may alter the selection of
function variants for some architectures. For AT_SECURE process it
means that if an outdated routine has a bug that would otherwise not
affect newer platforms by default, LD_HWCAP_MASK will allow that bug
to be exploited.
To be on the safe side, ignore and disable LD_HWCAP_MASK for setuid
binaries.
[BZ #21209]
* elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Ignore LD_HWCAP_MASK for
AT_SECURE processes.
* sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h: Add LD_HWCAP_MASK.
* elf/tst-env-setuid.c (test_parent): Test LD_HWCAP_MASK.
(test_child): Likewise.
* elf/Makefile (tst-env-setuid-ENV): Add LD_HWCAP_MASK.
The child process of the tst-env-setuid process was failing correctly
with EXIT_UNSUPPORTED but the parent did not carry that status forward
and failed instead. This patch fixes this so that tests on nosuid
/tmp fails gracefully with UNSUPPORTED. Tested by making my tmpfs
nosuid.
* elf/tst-env-setuid.c (do_execve): Return EXIT_UNSUPPORTED in
parent if child exited in that manner. Print WEXITSTATUS
instead of the raw status.
(do_test_prep): Rename to do_test.
(do_test): Return the result of run_executable_sgid.
(TEST_FUNCTION_ARGV): Adjust.
Florian Weimer pointed out that we have three different kinds of
environment variables (and hence tunables):
1. Variables that are removed for setxid processes
2. Variables that are ignored in setxid processes but is passed on to
child processes
3. Variables that are passed on to child processes all the time
Tunables currently only does (2) and (3) when it should be doing (1)
for MALLOC_CHECK_. This patch enhances the is_secure flag in tunables
to an enum value that can specify which of the above three categories
the tunable (and its envvar alias) belongs to.
The default is for tunables to be in (1). Hence, all of the malloc
tunables barring MALLOC_CHECK_ are explicitly specified to belong to
category (2). There were discussions around abolishing category (2)
completely but we can do that as a separate exercise in 2.26.
Tested on x86_64 to verify that there are no regressions.
