Subject: [committed 2.34 4/6] realpath: Set errno to ENAMETOOLONG for result larger than PATH_MAX [BZ #28770]
Date: Mon, 24 Jan 2022 12:20:40 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220124065042.3497514-5-siddhesh@sourceware.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220124065042.3497514-1-siddhesh@sourceware.org>
realpath returns an allocated string when the result exceeds PATH_MAX,
which is unexpected when its second argument is not NULL. This results
in the second argument (resolved) being uninitialized and also results
in a memory leak since the caller expects resolved to be the same as the
returned value.
Return NULL and set errno to ENAMETOOLONG if the result exceeds
PATH_MAX. This fixes [BZ #28770], which is CVE-2021-3998.
