After the commit of the current version, Scott Long pointed out, that an
attacker might be able to cause a use-after-free access if this function
returned the value of the sysctl variable "user.localbase" by freeing
the allocated memory without the cached address being cleared in the
library function.
To resolve this issue, I have proposed the originally suggested version
with a statically allocated buffer in a review (D27370). There was no
feedback on this review and after waiting for more than 2 weeks, the
potential security issue is fixed by this commit. (There was no security
risk in practice, since none of the programs converted to use this
function attempted to free the buffer. The address could only have
pointed into the heap if user.localbase was set to a non-default value,
into r/o data or the environment, else.)
This version uses a static buffer of size LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN, which
defaults to MAXPATHLEN. This does not increase the memory footprint
of the library at this time, since its data segment grows from less
than 7 KB to less than 8 KB, i.e. it will get two 4 KB pages on typical
architectures, anyway.
Compiling with LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN defined as 0 will remove the code
that accesses the sysctl variable, values between 1 and MAXPATHLEN-1
will limit the maximum size of the prefix. When built with such a
value and if too large a value has been configured in user.localbase,
the value defined as ILLEGAL_PREFIX will be returned to cause any
file operations on that result to fail. (Default value is "/dev/null/",
the review contained "/\177", but I assume that "/dev/null" exists and
can not be accessed as a directory. Any other string that can be assumed
not be a valid path prefix could be used.)
I do suggest to use LOCALBASE_CTL_LEN to size the in-kernel buffer for
the user.localbase variable, too. Doing this would guarantee that the
result always fit into the buffer in this library function (unless run
on a kernel built with a different buffer size.)
The function always returns a valid string, and only in case it is built
with a small static buffer and run on a system with too large a value in
user.localbase, the ILLEGAL_PREFIX will be returned, effectively causing
the created path to be non-existent.

This function returns the path to the local software base directory, by
default "/usr/local" (or the value of _PATH_LOCALBASE in include/paths.h
when building the world).
The value returned can be overridden by 2 methods:
- the LOCALBASE environment variable (ignored by SUID programs)
- else a non-default user.localbase sysctl value

data from /etc/passwd rather than /etc/master.passwd.
The libc getpwent(3) and related functions automatically read master.passwd
when run by root, or passwd when run by a non-root user. When run by non-
root, getpwent() copes with the missing data by setting the corresponding
fields in the passwd struct to known values (zeroes for numbers, or a
pointer to an empty string for literals). When libutil's pw_scan(3) was
used to parse a line without the root-accessible data, it was leaving
garbage in the corresponding fields.
These changes rename the static pw_init() function used by getpwent() and
friends to __pw_initpwd(), and move it into pw_scan.c so that common init
code can be shared between libc and libutil. pw_scan(3) now calls
__pw_initpwd() before __pw_scan(), just like the getpwent() family does, so
that reading an arbitrary passwd file in either format and parsing it with
pw_scan(3) returns the same results as getpwent(3) would.
This also adds a new pw_initpwd(3) function to libutil, so that code which
creates passwd structs from scratch in some manner that doesn't involve
pw_scan() can initialize the struct to the values expected by lots of
existing code, which doesn't expect to encounter NULL pointers or garbage
values in some fields.
quatactl(2) mechanism. (Read-only at this point, however.)
In particular, this is to allow rpc.rquotad query quotas
for NFS mounts, allowing users to see their quotas on the
hosts using the datasets.
The changes specifically:
* Add new RPC entry points for querying quotas.
* Changes the library routines to allow non-UFS quotas.
* Changes rquotad to check for quotas on mounted filesystems,
rather than being limited to entries in /etc/fstab
* Lastly, adds a VFS entry-point for ZFS to query quotas.
Note that this makes one unavoidable behavioural change: if quotas
are enabled, then they can be queried, as opposed to the current
method of checking for quotas being specified in fstab. (With
ZFS, if there are user or group quotas, they're used, always.)

Fix for remainder overflow, when in rare cases adding remainder to divider

The fix continues the division of the original number if the above case
happens -- added the appropriate check to the for loop performing
the division. This lowers the value shown, to make it fit into the buffer
space provided (1.0M for 4+1 character buffer, as used by ls).
