2013-10-25Fix stack overflow due to large AF_INET6 requestsSiddhesh Poyarekar
Resolves #16072 (CVE-2013-4458). This patch fixes another stack overflow in getaddrinfo when it is called with AF_INET6. The AF_UNSPEC case was fixed as CVE-2013-1914, but the AF_INET6 case went undetected back then.

2013-10-14ldd: make try_trace more robust and portablePatrick 'P. J.' McDermott
It was noted in 2005 (BZ #832), 2006 (BZ #3266), and 2007 [1] that ldd fails on shells other than Bash >= 3.0 because of the pipefail option around try_trace (added on 2004-12-08). EGLIBC was patched in 2008 [2] (r6912) to make the pipefail check run only on shells that support it, but RTLD output would still be lost on other shells with certain SELinux policies. This patch rewrites try_trace to work on any POSIX-conformant shell in such a way as to also work with such SELinux policies. It also obviates one difference between glibc and EGLIBC. URL: https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2007-01/msg00041.html URL: http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg00526.html 2013-09-11 P. J. McDermott <pj@pehjota.net> [BZ #832] * elf/ldd.bash.in (try_trace): More robustly and portably work around SELinux terminal write permissions by using a command substitution instead of a pipeline and pipefail option.

2013-10-11Fix fwrite() reading beyond end of buffer in error pathEric Biggers
Partially revert commits 2b766585f9b4ffabeef2f36200c275976b93f2c7 and de2fd463b1c0310d75084b6d774fb974075a4ad9, which were intended to fix BZ#11741 but caused another, likely worse bug, namely that fwrite() and fputs() could, in an error path, read data beyond the end of the specified buffer, and potentially even write this data to the file. Fix BZ#11741 properly by checking the return value from _IO_padn() in stdio-common/vfprintf.c.

Fixes BZ #15988. The check had a typo - it checked for PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NP instead of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST_NORMAL_NP. It has now been replaced by the already existing convenience macro USE_REQUEUE_PI.

2013-09-23Check for integer overflow in cache size computation in strcollSiddhesh Poyarekar
strcoll is implemented using a cache for indices and weights of collation sequences in the strings so that subsequent passes do not have to search through collation data again. For very large string inputs, the cache size computation could overflow. In such a case, use the fallback function that does not cache indices and weights of collation sequences. Fixes CVE-2012-4412.
2013-09-23Fall back to non-cached sequence traversal and comparison on malloc failSiddhesh Poyarekar
strcoll currently falls back to alloca if malloc fails, resulting in a possible stack overflow. This patch implements sequence traversal and comparison without caching indices and rules. Fixes CVE-2012-4424.
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.
