hwdb: reject overlong fnmatch key instead of passing NULL to fnmatch()
When the accumulated trie key exceeds the fixed-size line buffer,

pe-binary: bound section data against file size, cap UKI zero-padding hash, validate optional header size
A hostile but structurally valid 382-byte PE32+ "EFI application" with a
single section whose VirtualSize is ~4 GiB and SizeOfRawData is 0 drives
uki_hash() into ~4.17 M iterations of SHA-256 over 1024 bytes of zeros
— wedging the parser for >10 s. Nine more slow-units share the same
shape. A separate MSAN finding from the new fuzzer (CIFuzz, memory
sanitizer) shows pe_load_headers() reading uninitialised heap memory
when SizeOfOptionalHeader is too small to actually contain
NumberOfRvaAndSizes.
Three tightenings in src/shared/pe-binary.c:
1. In pe_load_sections, reject sections whose PointerToRawData +
SizeOfRawData exceeds the actual file size. Raw section data must
fit inside the file; this is the parser-wide invariant
pe_hash / uki_hash / pe_read_section_data rely on.
2. In uki_hash, cap the (VirtualSize - SizeOfRawData) zero-padding
hash loop at 64 MiB. Real UKIs do not pad sections with tens of
MiB of zero-equivalent data; anything above this cap is a
malformed PE.
3. In pe_load_headers, reject a PE whose SizeOfOptionalHeader is too
small to cover up to NumberOfRvaAndSizes. Without this guard the
subsequent size-mismatch check reads uninitialised optional-header
bytes, caught by MSAN under CIFuzz.
Add the 382 B canonical reproducer (plus two structural siblings) and
the MSAN reproducer to test/fuzz/fuzz-pe-binary/. Also add a libFuzzer
harness in src/fuzz/fuzz-pe-binary.c and unit tests in
src/test/test-pe-binary.c that exercise each fix branch in isolation.
The 64 MiB hash boundary test is gated behind SYSTEMD_SLOW_TESTS so it
doesn't slow down emulated-arch CI.
This is a robustness fix, not a security fix: PE binaries consumed by
bootctl / systemd-stub / pcrlock / kernel-install / systemd-measure are
already trusted and signed at the consumer side, so the worst pre-fix
behaviour is wasted CPU on a UKI install / measure / inspect call.

nspawn: join network namespace before cloning user namespace
When both --private-users and --network-namespace-path are
specified, systemd-nspawn fails to start with "Operation not
permitted" during the setns() call.
This occurs because of the following execution sequence:
1. The outer child calls raw_clone() with CLONE_NEWUSER to create
the new user namespace.
2. The inner child is spawned inside this new user namespace.
3. The inner child then attempts to call setns() to join the
external network namespace.
Because the inner child is already running inside
the restricted user namespace, the kernel rejects
the setns() call to join a network namespace owned by
a different (host/more privileged) user namespace.
Fix this by moving the setns() call to the outer child, executing it
just before the raw_clone() call. This ensures the network namespace
is joined while the process still has the necessary privileges, which
also aligns with the inner child's expectation that the network
namespace is already set up upon entry.

hwdb: bounds-check trie offsets against the mmap before dereferencing
Fixes a family of OOB reads in the trie walker where attacker-controlled
offsets are loaded from a (possibly hostile) hwdb.bin and added to
hwdb->map without first checking that the resulting pointer stays inside
the mapping. Crash sites:
Commit b45a897edc ("hwdb: reject out-of-bounds fnmatch prefixes")
plugged the first site only at the prefix_off-content level, but the
crash on the read of node->prefix_off itself still happens when node is
already OOB. This is the structural fix: a single hwdb_at() helper
validates that [off, off + size) lies inside the mapping, and
trie_node_from_off() / trie_string() return NULL on OOB; every caller
treats the result as nullable and surfaces -EBADMSG.
trie_fnmatch_f() additionally caps its recursion depth at 2048; without
the cap a corrupt trie whose child offsets form a cycle (or just a deep
linear chain) drives the parser into stack-overflow rather than
returning -EBADMSG (caught by CIFuzz address sanitizer on this branch).
Additions:
- A fuzz-hwdb libFuzzer harness that drives sd_hwdb_new_from_path,
sd_hwdb_get, sd_hwdb_seek, and sd_hwdb_enumerate on attacker bytes.
- Five hand-crafted unit tests in test-sd-hwdb.c (one per crash
bucket, plus the cyclic-trie recursion case) that build a malformed
in-memory hwdb.bin and assert -EBADMSG rather than SIGSEGV /
stack-overflow.
- Regression corpus files under test/fuzz/fuzz-hwdb/ pinning each
fixed bucket, including the CIFuzz stack-overflow reproducer.

test-oomd: drop racy last_had_mem_reclaim assertion
test_oomd_cgroup_context_acquire_and_insert sets c1->pgscan = UINT64_MAX
and c1->last_had_mem_reclaim = 888 before re-inserting via
oomd_insert_cgroup_context(h1, h2, cgroup), then asserts that c2 carries
over last_had_mem_reclaim == 888.
The assumption was that, because c1->pgscan (which becomes c2->last_pgscan)
is UINT64_MAX and is therefore strictly greater than the freshly-acquired
c2->pgscan, oomd_pgscan_rate() in oomd_insert_cgroup_context() would
return 0 and leave last_had_mem_reclaim untouched. But the function
treats last_pgscan > pgscan as "cgroup was recreated", resets last_pgscan
to 0, and returns pgscan - 0 == pgscan. So when the kernel records any
non-zero pgscan on the live cgroup of the test unit, the rate is > 0 and
last_had_mem_reclaim is overwritten with now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC).
From src/oom/oomd-util.c:
uint64_t oomd_pgscan_rate(const OomdCGroupContext *c) {
[...]
last_pgscan = c->last_pgscan;
if (c->last_pgscan > c->pgscan) {
log_debug("Last pgscan %"PRIu64" greater than current pgscan %"PRIu64" for %s. Using last pgscan of zero.",

[...]
if (oomd_pgscan_rate(curr_ctx) > 0)
curr_ctx->last_had_mem_reclaim = now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC);
Under sanitizers the test can be slow enough that the kernel scans the
test service cgroup at least once between the two acquisitions, which
triggers the failure:
[ 1898.159455] test-oomd-util[2606]: /* test_oomd_cgroup_context_acquire_and_insert */

(1898161250 matches the monotonic timestamp of the log line, confirming
that last_had_mem_reclaim was overwritten with now(CLOCK_MONOTONIC).)
The propagation of last_had_mem_reclaim is already covered
deterministically by TEST(oomd_update_cgroup_contexts_between_hashmaps),

udev: preserve rule-set properties on failed network interface rename
When rename_netif() failed for a reason other than -EBUSY (e.g. -EEXIST
because NAME= conflicts with an existing interface), the revert path
rewrote the on-disk udev database from dev_db_clone (the pre-rules
snapshot) and then returned the error. The caller in
udev_event_execute_rules() bailed out before reaching the final
device_update_db(dev), so every property the rules had attached to the
device during this event (including ENV{}= assignments made alongside
the failing NAME=) was silently dropped from /run/udev/data/.
Persist 'dev' from inside the revert block, after its syspath and
INTERFACE have been restored. The cloned snapshot is still written
first to clear ID_RENAMING/ID_PROCESSING; the subsequent dev write
keeps the rule-applied properties without resurrecting the new name.
Only persist when r < 0, since the -EBUSY path returns success and the
caller will write the DB itself.
Add a TEST-17-UDEV.rename-netif regression test that pre-creates the
rename target, then triggers rules that set three ENV{}= properties
(one on a rule line before the failing NAME=, one on the same line as
NAME=, and one on a rule line after) and asserts all three are still
visible via udevadm info on the source interface. The neighbouring
test_netif_renaming_conflict already exercises the same -EEXIST revert
path but only checks the SYSTEMD_ALIAS broadcast, which is why this
regression went unnoticed.
Verified against unpatched origin/main (b4aff10ac0): the new test
fails, udevadm reports only kernel-supplied fields for the source
interface, and /run/udev/data/n<ifindex> is 0 bytes. With this patch
applied all three properties survive regardless of whether they were
set before, on, or after the failing NAME= rule line.

test: clean up persistent test state at beginning of TEST-64-UDEV-STORAGE too

imds-generator: replace static Condition=initrd by a check in the generator
After looking at the unit, I'm not sure if systemd-imds-import.service
is supposed to run in the host system or not. But if it is supposed to
only run in the initrd, then the static condition in the unit file gives
as the worst behaviour: the generator does not do any checks if we are
in the initrd or not, and if it enabled the unit, it'll influence the
transaction ordering (possibly causing loops or additional work) and
then the unit will be unconditionally skipped. So replace the static
condition by a check in the generator. If the user specifies
systemd.imds.import on the commandline, it'll be honoured also in the
host.
units: drop After=network-online.target from imds services
The imds services are (very-) early boot services, ordered before
sysinit.target. OTOH, network-online.target is something that is often
established very late [1]. In fact, we always recommended to _not_
depend on it for things that are ordered before the usual targets that
allow user logins (e.g. graphical.target). So we certainly cannot add
early-boot ordering for it. Currently systemd-imds-imports.service
is conditionalized to only run in the initrd. But if the unit is enabled
in the host system, it would affect the transaction there, so we should
drop this bogus ordering everywhere.
(I think this might have been added by mistake. After all,
systemd-imds-import.service itself shouldn't care about the network.)
This fixes boot ordering issues reported upstream and in Fedora [2, 3].

tools/test-crash-trace: do not use fixed signal numbers
The numbers of signals vary by arch. On the common arches the signals

this on more fringe architectures too, so let's use symbolic names
instead.
Also the comment about gdb "hitting the same kill" didn't make sense.
The syntax is a bit baroque, but using a helper variable does not work.

This allows multi-call binaries to be easily invoked with a different
name. After installation, the name is set by creating a symlink. But in
build directories, we don't create the symlinks. (There are also other
ways to achieve the same thing, e.g. zsh supports $ARGV0, and exec -a
can be used, but those are either non-portable or are more complicated
to use.) The primary use-case for me is to test --help output for
multicall binaries.
Also reorder the help for env vars to group the more generic ones near
the top.
This was initially proposed in https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/24054,
but there were some comments about the implementation. I had a branch
with the patch, but I don't think I ever actually submitted it as a
pull request.
