2017-01-05	Increase some test timeouts.	Joseph Myers
	This patch increases timeouts on some tests I've observed timing out. elf/tst-tls13 and iconvdata/tst-loading both dynamically load many objects and so are slow when testing over NFS. They had timeouts set from before the default changed from 2 to 20 seconds; this patch removes those old settings, so effectively increasing the timeout to 20 seconds (from 3 and 10 seconds respectively). malloc/tst-malloc-thread-fail.c and malloc/tst-mallocfork2.c are slow on slow systems and so I set a fairly arbitrary 100 second timeout, which seems to suffice on the system where I saw them timing out. nss/tst-cancel-getpwuid_r.c and nss/tst-nss-getpwent.c are slow on systems with a large passwd file; I set timeouts that empirically worked for me. (It seems tst-cancel-getpwuid_r.c is hitting the 100000 getpwuid_r call limit in my testing, with each call taking a bit over 0.007 seconds, so 700 seconds for the test.) * elf/tst-tls13.c (TIMEOUT): Remove. * iconvdata/tst-loading.c (TIMEOUT): Likewise. * malloc/tst-malloc-thread-fail.c (TIMEOUT): Increase to 100. * malloc/tst-mallocfork2.c (TIMEOUT): Define to 100. * nss/tst-cancel-getpwuid_r.c (TIMEOUT): Define to 900. * nss/tst-nss-getpwent.c (TIMEOUT): Define to 300.

2015-04-29	CVE-2014-8121: Do not close NSS files database during iteration [BZ #18007]	Florian Weimer
	Robin Hack discovered Samba would enter an infinite loop processing certain quota-related requests. We eventually tracked this down to a glibc issue. Running a (simplified) test case under strace shows that /etc/passwd is continuously opened and closed: … open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY\|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 read(3, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717 lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717 close(3) = 0 open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY\|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_SET) = 0 read(3, "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\n"..., 4096) = 2717 lseek(3, 2717, SEEK_SET) = 2717 close(3) = 0 open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY\|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0 … The lookup function implementation in nss/nss_files/files-XXX.c:DB_LOOKUP has code to prevent that. It is supposed skip closing the input file if it was already open. /* Reset file pointer to beginning or open file. / \ status = internal_setent (keep_stream); \ \ if (status == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \ { \ / Tell getent function that we have repositioned the file pointer. / \ last_use = getby; \ \ while ((status = internal_getent (result, buffer, buflen, errnop \ H_ERRNO_ARG EXTRA_ARGS_VALUE)) \ == NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS) \ { break_if_match } \ \ if (! keep_stream) \ internal_endent (); \ } \ keep_stream is initialized from the stayopen flag in internal_setent. internal_setent is called from the setent implementation as: status = internal_setent (stayopen); However, for non-host database, this flag is always 0, per the STAYOPEN magic in nss/getXXent_r.c. Thus, the fix is this: - status = internal_setent (stayopen); + status = internal_setent (1); This is not a behavioral change even for the hosts database (where the application can specify the stayopen flag) because with a call to sethostent(0), the file handle is still not closed in the implementation of gethostent.
