- Added support for reading netgroups from NIS/YP in addition to the
local /etc/netgroups file. (Note that SunOS and many other systems only
support reading netgroups via NIS, which is a bit odd.)
- Fix Evil Null Pointer Dereferences From Hell (tm) that caused
parse_netgrp() to SEGV when expanding netgroups that include
references to other netgroups. Funny how nobody else noticed this.
This is the first step in implimenting +@netgroup substitution in
getpwent.c and any other places that could use it and don't already
support it (which is probably everywhere).
by heading off possible null pointer dereferences in grscan(). Also
change getgrnam() slightly to properly handle the change: if grscan()
returns an rval of 1 and leaves a '+' in the gr_name field and YP is
enabled, poll the YP group.byname map before giving up. This should
insure that we make every effort to find a match in the local and
YP group databases before bailing out.
in an (unlikely) border case (maxgroups==1 and the user is on
an /etc/group line for the same group and that group only ...).
Now this case is dealt with as before ...
Add a missing apostrophe that suggests inverting the frequency to get
tick size. It read better before because `CLK_TCK' suggests a tick
size although it is actually a frequency.
as an NIS client. The pw_breakout_yp routines that are used to populate the
_pw_passwd structire only do anything if the bits in the pw_fields member
_pw_passwd are cleared. Unfortunately, we can get into a state where
pw_fields has garbage in it right before the YP lookup functions are
called, which causes the breakout functions to screw up in a big way.
Here's how to duplicate the problem:
- Configure FreeBSD as an NIS client
- Log in as a user who's password database records reside only in
the NIS passwd maps.
- Type ps -aux
Result: your processes appear to be owned by 'root' or 'deamon.'
/bin/ls can exhibit the same problem.
The reason this happens:
- When ps(1) needs to match a username to a UID, it calls getpwuid().
- root is in the local password file, so getpwuid() calls __hashpw()
and __hashpw() populates the _pw_passwd struct, including the pw_fields
member. This happens before NIS lookups take place because, by coincidence,
ps(1) tends to display processes owned by root before it happens upon
a proccess owned by you.
- When your UID comes up, __hashpw() fails to find your entry in the
local password database, so it bails out, BUT THE BITS IN THE pw_fields
STRUCTURE OF _pw_passwd ARE NEVER CLEARED AND STILL CONTAIN INFORMATION
FROM THE PREVIOUS CALL TO __hash_pw()!!
- If we have NIS enabled, the NIS lookup functions are called.
- The pw_breakout_yp routines see that the pw_fields bits are set and
decline to place the data retrieved from the NIS passwd maps into the
_pw_passwd structure.
- getpwuid() returns the results of the last __hashpw() lookup instead
of the valid NIS data.
- Hijinxs ensue when user_from_uid() caches this bogus information and
starts handing out the wrong usernames.
AAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!
*Please* don't tell me I'm the only person to have noticed this.
Fixed by having __hashpw() check the state of pw_fields just before
bailing out on a failed lookup and clearing away any leftover garbage.
What a fun way to spend an afternoon.
- FreeBSD's NIS server can supply a master.passwd map, which has
more fields in it than a standard passwd map, so we need a
_master_pw_breakout() fuction.
- When doing passwd map lookups, look for master.passwd.* by attempting
a _yp_first() on master.passwd.byname. If it exists, we're being served
by a FreeBSD NIS server and we should use this map.
- If we aren't the superuser, retrieve only the standard passwd maps.
If we're being served by a FreeBSD system, then the passwd map has
no passwords in it, and it won't serve us the master.passwd map unless
we're superuser anyway.
There's a small speed hit for the superuser inherent in the check for
the master.passwd map, but this lets us dynamically decide what to do
rather than rely on a non-standard config file somewhere. Since all
of this is bypassed for normal users, they shouldn't notice the
difference.
YP by disallowing `+' entries as logins in all cases. (This handles the
case of a `+' entry in the password file but YP not running, which should
never happen but is easy enough to check for so we'll apply some
prophylaxis.)
getcwd() has two off-by-one bugs in FreeBSD-2.0:
1. getcwd(buf, size) fails when the size is just large enough.
2. getcwd(buf + 1, 1) incorrectly succeeds when the current directory
is "/". buf[0] and buf[2] are clobbered.
(I modified Bruce's original patch to return the proper error code
[ERANGE] in the case of #2, but otherwise... -DG)
This program demonstrates the bug:
---
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void)
{
char buf[5];
int errors;
errors = 0;
if (chdir("/tmp") != 0) {
perror("chdir");
abort();
}
if (getcwd(buf, 5) == NULL) {
perror("oops, getcwd failed for buffer size = size required");
++errors;
}
if (chdir("/") != 0) {
perror("chdir");
abort();
}
buf[0] = 0;
buf[2] = 1;
if (getcwd(buf + 1, 1) != NULL) {
fprintf(stderr,
"oops, getcwd succeeded for buffer size = one too small\n");
++errors;
}
if (buf[0] != 0) {
fprintf(stderr,
"oops, getcwd scribbled on memory before start of buffer\n");
++errors;
}
if (buf[2] != 1) {
fprintf(stderr,
"oops, getcwd scribbled on memory after end of buffer\n");
++errors;
}
exit(errors == 0 ? 0 : 1);
}
pointer returned by realloc(). All callers free the pointer if the
execve fails. Nuke the caching. This essentially restores buildargv()
to the 1.1.5 version. Also fix a memory leak if realloc() fails. Also
nuke similar but non-broken caching in execvp(). malloc() should be
efficient enough.
later be applied to a number of programs (inetd for instance) to clean
out the bogus code doing the same thing, modulus all the bugs.
If you need to read a '#'-is-a-comment-file, please use these routines.
I realize that the shlib# should be bumped (for the non-US world:
increased by something), but will defer this until something significant
happens.

NB
!!!!!!!!
You MUST pwd_mkdb /etc/master.passwd before attempting to use the new
libc, or things may go wrong. (I doubt anything actually /will/ go
wrong, but the actual behavior is undefined. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.)
The database format is, however, backwards-compatible, so old executables
will still work.
