* src/sort.c (default_sort_size): Do not exceed 3/4 of total memory.
See Jeff Janes's bug report in
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-06/msg00018.html>.
|
|
* src/setuidgid.c (main): Fix two error-before-usage calls not to exit.
Exit with status SETUIDGID_FAILURE (not EXIT_FAILURE) consistently.
|
|
* src/sort.c (stream_open): EXIT_FAILURE -> SORT_FAILURE.
Suggested by Pádraig Brady in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11816#34>.
|
|
* src/sort.c (outfd): Remove. All uses replaced by STDOUT_FILENO.
(stream_open): When writing, use stdout rather than fdopen.
(move_fd_or_die): Renamed from dup2_or_die, with the added functionality
of closing its first argument. All uses changed.
(avoid_trashing_input): Special case for !outfile no longer needed.
(check_output): Arrange for standard output to go to the file,
rather than storing the fd in outfd.
|
|
* src/sort.c (check_inputs): A new function to verify all inputs
are accessible before further processing.
(check_output): A new function to open or create a specified
output file, before futher processing.
(stream_open): Adjust to truncating the previously opened
output file rather than opening directly.
(avoid_trashing_input): Optimize to stat the output file
descriptor, rather than the file name.
(main): Call the new functions to check accessibility of
inputs and output, before processing starts.
* tests/misc/sort: Adjust to the changed error message.
* tests/misc/sort-merge-fdlimit: Account for the earlier opened
file descriptor of the specified output file.

The Canalyze static code analyzer correctly surmised
that there is a use-after-free bug in free_buffer()
at the line "struct line *n = l->next", if that
function is called multiple times.
This is not a runtime issue since a list of lines
will not be present in the !lines_found case.
* src/csplit.c (free_buffer): Set list head to NULL so
that this function can be called multiple times.
(load_buffer): Remove a redundant call to free_buffer().

While gcc clears padding of a local automatic initialized to "{ 0, }",
CIL does not, and the C99 standard is not clear on this issue.

struct statfs has the f_frsize member since Linux 2.6,
so use that rather than f_bsize which can be different.
Note the related df change mentioned in NEWS is handled
in gnulib by using statvfs() rather than statfs()
on Linux > 2.6.36 (where statvfs doesn't hang) and the
same method as stat for Linux 2.6 kernels earlier than that.
stat(1) doesn't use statvfs() on GNU/Linux as the f_type
member isn't available there.
Note the change to not use statvfs() on GNU/Linux was introduced
in gnulib commit eda39b8 16-08-2003.
* m4/stat-prog.m4 (cu_PREREQ_STAT_PROG): Check for the f_frsize
member in the statfs structure.
* src/stat.c: Use (struct statfs).f_frsize if available.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention this stat fix, and the related df fix
coming in the next gnulib update.
* THANKS.in: Add Nikolaus.

In order for ls --color to color each symlink, it must form the name
of each referent and then stat it to see if the link is dangling, to
a directory, to a file, etc. When the symlink is to a relative name,
ls must concatenate the starting directory name and that relative name.
When, in addition, the starting directory was "/" or "/some-name",
the result was ill-formed, and the subsequent stat would usually fail,
making the caller color it as a dangling symlink.
* src/ls.c (make_link_name): Don't botch the case in which
dir_name(NAME) == "/" and LINKNAME is relative.
* tests/ls/root-rel-symlink-color: New file. Test for the above.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.

Problem reported by Samuel Thibault in <http://bugs.gnu.org/11424>.
* NEWS: Document this.
* src/dd.c (skip): Handle skipping past EOF on shared or typed
memory objects the same way as with regular files.
(dd_copy): It's OK to truncate shared memory objects.
* src/du.c (duinfo_add): Check for overflow.
(print_only_size): Report overflow.
(process_file): Ignore negative file sizes in the --apparent-size case.
* src/od.c (skip): Fix comment about st_size.
* src/split.c (main):
* src/truncate.c (do_ftruncate, main):
On files where st_size is not portable, fall back on using lseek
with SEEK_END to determine the size. Although strictly speaking
POSIX says the behavior is implementation-defined, in practice
if lseek returns a nonnegative value it's a reasonable one to
use for the file size.
* src/system.h (usable_st_size): Symlinks have reliable st_size too.
* tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Don't assume that getting the size
of a dir is not allowed, as it's now allowed on many platforms,
e.g., GNU/Linux.
|
|
* src/stat.c (print_stat): Use out_int, not out_uint for stat.st_size.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
|
|
* src/split.c (main): Use stat.st_size only for regular files.
Samuel Thibault reported in http://bugs.gnu.org/11424 that the
/dev/zero-splitting tests would appear to infloop on GNU/Hurd,
because /dev/zero's st_size is LONG_MAX. It was only a problem
when using the --number (-n) option.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
This bug was introduced with the --number option, via
commit v8.7-25-gbe10739

* src/ioblksize.h: Add updated test results and

|
|
* src/id.c (main): Using -Z with -r or -n would fail with "id: cannot
print only names or real IDs in default format", in spite of that "-Z",
which specifies a non-default format. Now, it succeeds and ignores
the -n or -r option. The error was that the test for default_format
was not updated when I added the new --context (-Z) option in
commit v6.9-33-g5320d0f.
|
|
* src/id.c (main): Invocations like "id" and "id -G" would call getcon
to determine the current security context even though that result would
not be used. Similarly, when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set. Rearrange
conditionals and hoist the POSIXLY_CORRECT test so that we call
getcon only when necessary.
|
|
* src/id.c (main): Factor out uses of "argc - optind".
Move option-consistency checks to precede the potential getcon call.

... i.e., don't use the getpw* functions.
Before this change, running groups or id with no user name argument
would include a group name or ID from /etc/passwd. Thus, under unusual
circumstances (default group is changed, but has not taken effect for a
given session), those programs could print a name or ID that is neither
real nor effective.
To demonstrate, run this:
echo 'for i in 1 2; do id -G; sleep 1.5; done' \
|su -s /bin/sh ftp - &
sleep 1; perl -pi -e 's/^(ftp:x:\d+):(\d+)/$1:9876/' /etc/passwd
Those id -G commands printed the following:
50
50 9876
With this change, they print this:
50
50
Similarly, running those programs set-GID could make them
print one ID too many.
* src/group-list.c (print_group_list): When username is NULL, pass
egid, not getpwuid(ruid)->pw_gid), to xgetgroups, per the API
requirements of xgetgroups callee, mgetgroups.
When not using the password database, don't call getpwuid.
* NEWS (Bug fixes): Mention it.
* tests/misc/id-setgid: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
(root_tests): It's a root-only test, so add it here, too.
