getcwd: Set errno to ERANGE for size == 1 (CVE-2021-3999)
No valid path returned by getcwd would fit into 1 byte, so reject the
size early and return NULL with errno set to ERANGE. This change is
prompted by CVE-2021-3999, which describes a single byte buffer
underflow and overflow when all of the following conditions are met:
- The buffer size (i.e. the second argument of getcwd) is 1 byte
- The current working directory is too long
- '/' is also mounted on the current working directory
Sequence of events:
- In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c, the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG
because the linux kernel checks for name length before it checks
buffer size
- The code falls back to the generic getcwd in sysdeps/posix
- In the generic func, the buf[0] is set to '\0' on line 250
- this while loop on line 262 is bypassed:
while (!(thisdev == rootdev && thisino == rootino))
since the rootfs (/) is bind mounted onto the directory and the flow
goes on to line 449, where it puts a '/' in the byte before the
buffer.
- Finally on line 458, it moves 2 bytes (the underflowed byte and the
'\0') to the buf[0] and buf[1], resulting in a 1 byte buffer overflow.
- buf is returned on line 469 and errno is not set.
This resolves BZ #28769.
