Fix use of half-initialized result in getaddrinfo when using nscd (bug 16743)
This fixes a bug in the way the results from __nscd_getai are collected:

CVE-2015-1472: wscanf allocates too little memory

CVE-2014-7817: wordexp fails to honour WRDE_NOCMD.
The function wordexp() fails to properly handle the WRDE_NOCMD
flag when processing arithmetic inputs in the form of "$((... ``))"
where "..." can be anything valid. The backticks in the arithmetic
epxression are evaluated by in a shell even if WRDE_NOCMD forbade
command substitution. This allows an attacker to attempt to pass
dangerous commands via constructs of the above form, and bypass
the WRDE_NOCMD flag. This patch fixes this by checking for WRDE_NOCMD
in exec_comm(), the only place that can execute a shell. All other
checks for WRDE_NOCMD are superfluous and removed.
We expand the testsuite and add 3 new regression tests of roughly
the same form but with a couple of nested levels.
On top of the 3 new tests we add fork validation to the WRDE_NOCMD
testing. If any forks are detected during the execution of a wordexp()
call with WRDE_NOCMD, the test is marked as failed. This is slightly
heuristic since vfork might be used in the future, but it provides a
higher level of assurance that no shells were executed as part of
command substitution with WRDE_NOCMD in effect. In addition it doesn't
require libpthread or libdl, instead we use the public implementation
namespace function __register_atfork (already part of the public ABI
for libpthread).
Use NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN to indicate insufficient buffer (BZ #16878)
The netgroups nss modules in the glibc tree use NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL
(with errno as ERANGE) when the supplied buffer does not have
sufficient space for the result. This is wrong, because the canonical
way to indicate insufficient buffer is to set the errno to ERANGE and
the status to NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN, as is used by all other modules.
This fixes nscd behaviour when the nss_ldap module returns
NSS_STATUS_TRYAGAIN to indicate that a netgroup entry is too long to
fit into the supplied buffer.
Provide correct buffer length to netgroup queries in nscd (BZ #16695)
The buffer to query netgroup entries is allocated sufficient space for
the netgroup entries and the key to be appended at the end, but it
sends in an incorrect available length to the NSS netgroup query
functions, resulting in overflow of the buffer in some special cases.
The fix here is to factor in the key length when sending the available
buffer and buffer length to the query functions.
Now that MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE should be define on memcopy.h there
is no need to specialized powerpc memmove implementation. This patch
moves the define set to powerpc memcopy and cleanup its definition on
powerpc code.
PowerPC: Align power7 memcpy using VSX to quadword
This patch changes power7 memcpy to use VSX instructions only when
memory is aligned to quardword. It is to avoid unaligned kernel traps
on non-cacheable memory (for instance, memory-mapped I/O).
This patch adds an optimized memmove optimization for POWER7/powerpc64.
Basically the idea is to use the memcpy for POWER7 on non-overlapped
memory regions and a optimized backward memcpy for memory regions
that overlap (similar to the idea of string/memmove.c).
The backward memcpy algorithm used is similar the one use for memcpy for
POWER7, with adjustments done for alignment. The difference is memory
is always aligned to 16 bytes before using VSX/altivec instructions.
This patch removes the powerpc specific logic in memmove and instead
include default implementation with MEMCPY_OK_FOR_FWD_MEMMOVE defined.
This lead in a increase performance, since the constraints to use
memcpy in powerpc code are too restrictive and memcpy can be used for
any forward memmove.
This patch adds an ifunc power7 strcat symbol that uses the logic on
sysdeps/powerpc/strcat.c but call power7 strlen/strcpy symbols instead
of default ones.
Linux commit dd58a092c4202f2bd490adab7285b3ff77f8e467 added the
PPC_FEATURE2_VEC_CRYPTO auvx capability to indicate whether to
hardware supports vector crypto hardware instructions. This patch
adds its definition to powerpc hwcap bits.
This patch fixes few failures in nearbyintl() where the fraction part is
close to 0.5.i The new tests added report few extra failures in
nearbyint_downward and nearbyint_towardzero which is a known issue.
Optimization is achieved on 8 byte aligned strings with double word
comparison using cmpb instruction. On unaligned strings loop unrolling
is applied for Power7 gain.
This patch fixes the optimized ppc64/power7 strncat strlen call for
static build without ifunc enabled. The strlen symbol to call in such
situation is just strlen, instead of __GI_strlen (since the __GI_
alias is just created for shared objects).
This patch fixes some powerpc32 and powerpc64 builds with
--disable-multi-arch option along with different --with-cpu=powerN.
It cleanups the Implies directories by removing the multiarch
folder for non multiarch config and also fixing two assembly
implementations: powerpc64/power7/strncat.S that is calling the
wrong strlen; and power8/fpu/s_isnan.S that misses the hidden_def and
weak_alias directives.
This patch fixes a similar issue to 736c304a1ab4cee36a2f3343f1698bc0abae4608, where for PPC32 if the symbol
is defined as hidden (memchr) then compiler will create a local branc
(symbol@local) and the linker will not create a required PLT call to
make the ifunc work. It changes the default hidden symbol (__GI_memchr)
to default memchr symbol for powerpc32 (__memchr_ppc32).
aarch64: Merge __local_multiple_threads offset with memory reference
This also highlights that we'd been loading 64-bits instead of
the proper 32-bits. Caught by the linker as a relocation error,
since the variable happened to be unaligned for 64-bits.
PowerPC: strncpy/stpncpy optimization for PPC64/POWER7
The optimization is achieved by following techniques:
> data alignment [gain from aligned memory access on read/write]
> POWER7 gains performance with loop unrolling/unwinding
[gain by reduction of branch penalty].
> zero padding done by calling optimized memset
This patch changes de default symbol redirection for internal call of
memcpy, memset, memchr, and strlen to the IFUNC resolved ones. The
performance improvement is noticeable in algorithms that uses these
symbols extensible, like the regex functions.
