2013-09-23BZ #15754: CVE-2013-4788Carlos O'Donell
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: The GNU C Library also provides '_l' versions of these functions, which take an additional argument, the locale to use in conversion. *Note Parsing of Integers::. Split the final note as it is unrelated to the above comment and reference it with "See also" instead.

The pt-chown binary is discussed in the "Running make install" section without clarification of the needed configure option. Clarify this and simplfy the discription which is already covered in the "Configuring and compiling" section.

2013-09-03Mark success return value as volatile to work around reschedulingSiddhesh Poyarekar
Resolves #15921 The test case nptl/tst-cleanup2 fails on s390x and power6 due to instruction sheduling in gcc. This was reported in gcc: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58034 but it was concluded that gcc is allowed to assume that the first argument to sprintf is a character array - NULL not being a valid character array.

2013-08-27[BZ #15897] dlfcn: do not mark dlopen/dlclose as leaf functionsMike Frysinger
Since the dlopen funcs might invoke a constructor that calls a func that is in the same compilation unit as the caller, we cannot mark them as leaf funcs. Similarly, dlclose might invoke a destructor that calls a func that is in the same compilation unit as the caller.

2013-07-21CVE-2013-2207, BZ #15755: Disable pt_chown.Carlos O'Donell
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.
2013-07-16BZ #15711: Avoid circular dependency for syscall.hCarlos O'Donell
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'. --- 2013-07-15 Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com> [BZ #15711] * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%h): Avoid system header dependency with -ffreestanding. ($(objpfx)bits/syscall%d): Likewise.

2013-06-28[BZ #15022] Correct global-scope dlopen issues in static executables.Maciej W. Rozycki
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.
