            Bug ID: 28815
           Summary: realpath should not copy to resolved buffer on error
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.35
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: siddhesh at sourceware dot org
                CC: drepper.fsp at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

If realpath fails and the "resolved" argument of the call is non-NULL, the
contents of the "resolved" are undefined.  The glibc implementation however
copies the contents into the buffer regardless of failure and even tests for
them in test-canon.c

The string copy should be avoided on error and the test should be adjusted to
not compare buffer contents on failure.
