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.
The fix in commit 312be3f9f5 resolved
several cancellation issues in several APIs. This regression test is
designed to double check that at least getpwuid_r remainds correctly
implemented and does not provide additional unintended cancellation
points that may leave locks in an inconsistent state.
_res_hconf.initialized was not suitable for use in a multi-threaded
environment due to the lack of atomics and memory barriers. Use of it was
also unnecessary because _res_hconf_init did the right thing by using
__libc_once. This patch fixes the glibc-internal uses by just calling
_res_hconf_init unconditionally, and switches to a release MO atomic store
for _res_hconf.initialized to fix the glibc side of the synchronization
problem (which will maintain backward compatibility, but cannot fix the
lack of acquire MO on any glibc-external loads).
[BZ #20477]
* resolv/res_hconf.c (do_init): Use atomic access.
* resolv/res_hconf.h: Add comments.
* nscd/aicache.c (addhstaiX): Call _res_hconf_init unconditionally.
* nss/getXXbyYY_r.c (REENTRANT_NAME): Likewise.
* sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c (gaih_inet): Likewise.
When get*ent is called without a preceding set*ent, we need
to set the initial iteration position in get*ent.
Reproducer: Add “services: db files” to /etc/nsswitch.conf, then run
“perl -e getservent”. It will segfault before this change, and exit
silently after it.
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Proposals/GroupMerging
== Justification ==
It is common today for users to rely on centrally-managed user stores for
handling their user accounts. However, much software existing today does
not have an innate understanding of such accounts. Instead, they commonly
rely on membership in known groups for managing access-control (for
example the "wheel" group on Fedora and RHEL systems or the "adm" group
on Debian-derived systems). In the present incarnation of nsswitch, the
only way to have such groups managed by a remote user store such as
FreeIPA or Active Directory would be to manually remove the groups from
/etc/group on the clients so that nsswitch would then move past nss_files
and into the SSSD, nss-ldap or other remote user database.
== Solution ==
With this patch, a new action is introduced for nsswitch:
NSS_ACTION_MERGE. To take advantage of it, one will add [SUCCESS=merge]
between two database entries in the nsswitch.conf file. When a group is
located in the first of the two group entries, processing will continue
on to the next one. If the group is also found in the next entry (and the
group name and GID are an exact match), the member list of the second
entry will be added to the group object to be returned.
== Implementation ==
After each DL_LOOKUP_FN() returns, the next action is checked. If the
function returned NSS_STATUS_SUCCESS and the next action is
NSS_ACTION_MERGE, a copy of the result buffer is saved for the next pass
through the loop. If on this next pass through the loop the database
returns another instance of a group matching both the group name and GID,
the member list is added to the previous list and it is returned as a
single object. If the following database does not contain the same group,
then the original is copied back into the destination buffer.
This patch implements merge functionality only for the group database.
For other databases, there is a default implementation that will return
the EINVAL errno if a merge is requested. The merge functionality can be
implemented for other databases at a later time if such is needed. Each
database must provide a unique implementation of the deep-copy and merge
functions.
If [SUCCESS=merge] is present in nsswitch.conf for a glibc version that
does not support it, glibc will process results up until that operation,
at which time it will return results if it has found them or else will
simply return an error. In practical terms, this ends up behaving like
the remainder of the nsswitch.conf line does not exist.
== Iterators ==
This feature does not modify the iterator functionality from its current
behavior. If getgrnam() or getgrgid() is called, glibc will iterate
through all entries in the `group` line in nsswitch.conf and display the
list of members without attempting to merge them. This is consistent with
the behavior of nss_files where if two separate lines are specified for
the same group in /etc/groups, getgrnam()/getgrgid() will display both.
Clients are already expected to handle this gracefully.
== No Premature Optimizations ==
The following is a list of places that might be eligible for
optimization, but were not overengineered for this initial contribution:
* Any situation where a merge may occur will result in one malloc() of
the same size as the input buffer.
* Any situation where a merge does occur will result in a second
malloc() to hold the list of pointers to member name strings.
* The list of members is simply concatenated together and is not tested
for uniqueness (which is identical to the behavior for nss_files,
which will simply return identical values if they both exist on the
line in the file. This could potentially be optimized to reduce space
usage in the buffer, but it is both complex and computationally
expensive to do so.
== Testing ==
I performed testing by running the getent utility against my newly-built
glibc and configuring /etc/nsswitch.conf with the following entry:
group: group: files [SUCCESS=merge] sss
In /etc/group I included the line:
wheel❌10:sgallagh
I then configured my local SSSD using the id_provider=local to respond
with:
wheel:*:10:localuser,localuser2
I then ran `getent group wheel` against the newly-built glibc in
multiple situations and received the expected output as described
above:
* When SSSD was running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but the daemon was not
running.
* When SSSD was configured in nsswitch.conf but nss_sss.so.2 was not
installed on the system.
* When the order of 'sss' and 'files' was reversed.
* All of the above with the [SUCCESS=merge] removed (to ensure no
regressions).
* All of the above with `getent group 10`.
* All of the above with `getent group` with and without
`enumerate=true` set in SSSD.
* All of the above with and without nscd enabled on the system.
Reproducer (needs to run as root):
perl -e \
'print "large❌999:" . join(",", map {"user$_"} (1 .. 135))."\n"' \
>> /etc/group
cd /var/db
make
getent -s db group
After the fix, the last command should list the "large" group.
The magic number 135 has been chosen so that the line is shorter than
1024 bytes, but the pointers required to encode the member array will
cross the threshold, triggering the bug.
This mostly automatically-generated patch converts 113 function
definitions in glibc from old-style K&R to prototype-style. Following
my other recent such patches, this one deals with the case of function
definitions in files that either contain assertions or where grep
suggested they might contain assertions - and thus where it isn't
possible to use a simple object code comparison as a sanity check on
the correctness of the patch, because line numbers are changed.
A few such automatically-generated changes needed to be supplemented
by manual changes for the result to compile. openat64 had a prototype
declaration with "..." but an old-style definition in
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/dl-openat64.c, and "..." needed adding to the
generated prototype in the definition (I've filed
<https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=68024> for diagnosing
such cases in GCC; the old state was undefined behavior not requiring
a diagnostic, but one seems a good idea). In addition, as Florian has
noted regparm attribute mismatches between declaration and definition
are only diagnosed for prototype definitions, and five functions
needed internal_function added to their definitions (in the case of
__pthread_mutex_cond_lock, via the macro definition of
__pthread_mutex_lock) to compile on i386.
After this patch is in, remaining old-style definitions are probably
most readily fixed manually before we can turn on
-Wold-style-definition for all builds.

The recent put*ent hardening changes broke the build for i386. i386
defines internal_function to __attribute__ ((regparm (3), stdcall)),
which affects type compatibility, so requiring internal_function to be
used consistently on declarations and definitions. This patch adds
internal_function to the definitions of the new functions using it on
their declarations.
Tested for i386 that this fixes the build.

This prevents injection of ':' and '\n' into output functions which
use the NSS files database syntax. Critical fields (user/group names
and file system paths) are checked strictly. For backwards
compatibility, the GECOS field is rewritten instead.
The getent program is adjusted to use the put*ent functions in libc,
instead of local copies. This changes the behavior of getent if user
names start with '-' or '+'.
It used to be common practice to have a statically linked shell for an
alternative root account, as in:
root❌0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
toor❌0:0:root recovery account:/root:/sbin/sash
This causes problems with passwd NSS tests because a UID-based lookup
will only retrieve one of those entries. The original version of
nss/bug17079.c detected this, but failed to use this information later
on.
These scripts use #!/bin/sh explicitly, so make sure they avoid echo -n
as different shells treat it differently. Use the portable printf func
instead.
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❌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❌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 set*ent 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.
In bug 14906 the user complains that the inotify support in nscd
is not sufficient when it comes to detecting changes in the
configurationfiles that should be watched for the various databases.
The current nscd implementation uses inotify to watch for changes in
the configuration files, but adds watches only for IN_DELETE_SELF and
IN_MODIFY. These watches are insufficient to cover even the most basic
uses by a system administrator. For example using emacs or vim to edit
a configuration file should trigger a reload but it might not if
the editors use move to atomically update the file. This atomic update
changes the inode and thus removes the notification on the file (as
inotify is based on inodes). Thus the inotify support in nscd for
configuration files is insufficient to account for the average use
cases of system administrators and users.
The inotify support is significantly enhanced and described here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-02/msg00504.html
Tested on x86_64 with and without inotify support.
Testing for 32-bit x86 shows up a warning "tst-nss-test1.c:25:3:
warning: format '%ju' expects argument of type 'uintmax_t', but
argument 2 has type 'int' [-Wformat=]". The argument is a difference
of two pointers, a signed quantity of type ptrdiff_t for which the
right format is %td; this patch makes this test use that format.
Tested for 32-bit x86.
* nss/tst-nss-test1.c (do_test): Use %td printf format for pointer
difference, not %ju.
Replace it with IS_IN (libc) and remove the one place that it
is defined in. The generated code remains unchanged on x86_64.
* include/shlib-compat.h [!NOT_IN_libc]: Remove.
* nss/nss_files/files-parse.c (IS_IN_libc): Replace with
IS_IN (libc).
nss_db uses nss_files code for services, but a continue on protocol
mismatch that doesn't affect nss_files skipped the code that advanced
to the next db entry. Any one of these changes would suffice to fix
it, but fixing both makes them both safer to reuse elsewhere.
for ChangeLog
[BZ #14498]
* NEWS: Fixed.
* nss/nss_db/db-XXX.c (_nss_db_get##name##_r): Update hidx
after parsing line but before break_if_match.
* nss/nss_files/files-service (DB_LOOKUP): Don't "continue;"
if there is a protocol mismatch.
The current scheme to identify which module a translation unit is
built in depends on defining multiple macros IS_IN_* and also defining
NOT_IN_libc if we're building a non-libc module. In addition, there
is an IN_LIB macro that does effectively the same thing, but for
different modules (notably the systemtap probes). This macro scheme
unifies both ideas to use just one macro IN_MODULE and assign it a
value depending on the module it is being built into. If the module
is not defined, it defaults to MODULE_libc.
Patches that follow will replace uses of IS_IN_* variables with the
IS_IN() macro. libc-symbols.h has been converted already to give an
example of how such a transition will look.
Verified that there are no relevant binary changes. One source change
that will crop up repeatedly is that of nscd_stat, since it uses the
build timestamp as a constant in its logic.

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.
In <https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-01/msg00196.html> I
noted it was necessary to add includes of Makeconfig early in various
subdirectory makefiles for the tests-special variable settings added
by that patch to be conditional on configuration information. No-one
commented on the general question there of whether Makeconfig should
always be included immediately after the definition of subdir.
This patch implements that early inclusion of Makeconfig in each
directory (which is a lot easier than consistent placement of includes
of Rules). Includes are added if needed, or moved up if already
present. Subdirectory "all:" targets are removed, since Makeconfig
provides one.
There is potential for further cleanups I haven't done. Rules and
Makerules have code such as
ifneq "$(findstring env,$(origin headers))" ""
headers :=
endif
to override to empty any value of various variables that came from the
environment. I think there is a case for Makeconfig setting all the
subdirectory variables (other than subdir) to empty to ensure no
outside value is going to take effect if a subdirectory fails to
define a variable. (A list of such variables, possibly out of date
and incomplete, is in manual/maint.texi.) Rules and Makerules would
give errors if Makeconfig hadn't already been included, instead of
including it themselves. The special code to override values coming
from the environment would then be obsolete and could be removed.
Tested x86_64, including that installed binaries are identical before
and after the patch.

The netgroups file parsing code tries to access the character before
the newline in parsed lines to see if it is a backslash (\). This
results in an access before the block allocated for the line if the
line is blank, i.e. does not have anything other than the newline
character. This doesn't seem like it will cause any crashes because
the byte belongs to the malloc metadata block and hence access to it
will always succeed.
There could be an invalid alteration in code flow where a blank line
is seen as a continuation due to the preceding byte *happening* to be
'\\'. This could be done by interposing malloc, but that's not really
a security problem since one could interpose getnetgrent_r itself and
achieve a similar 'exploit'.
The possibility of actually exploiting this is remote to impossible
since it also requires the previous line to end with a '\\', which
would happen only on invalid configurations.
AF_INET lookup in hosts file uses _nss_files_gethostbyname2_r, which
is not capable of returning a canonical name if it has found one.
This change adds _nss_files_gethostbyname3_r, which wraps around
_nss_files_gethostbyname2_r and then returns result.h_name as the
canonical name.
Currently for AF_INET lookups from the hosts file, buffer sizes larger
than INT_MAX silently overflow and may result in access beyond bounds
of a buffer. This happens when the number of results in an AF_INET
lookup in /etc/hosts are very large.
There are two aspects to the problem. One problem is that the size
computed from the buffer size is stored into an int, which results in
overflow for large sizes. Additionally, even if this size was
expanded, the function used to read content into the buffer (fgets)
accepts only int sizes. As a result, the fix is to have a function
wrap around fgets that calls it multiple times with int sizes if
necessary.
Fixes BZ #15339.
NSS_STATUS_UNAVAIL may mean that a necessary input resource is not
available. This could occur in a number of cases including when the
network is down, system runs out of file descriptors, etc. The
correct differentiator in such a case is the h_errno, which gives the
nature of failure. In case of failures other than a simple 'not
found', we set h_errno as NETDB_INTERNAL and let errno be the
identifier for the exact error.
