Bug ID: 15765
Summary: sem_open is wrongly a cancellation point
Product: glibc
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: libc
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: bugdal at aerifal dot cx

test demonstrating the bug
sem_open uses functions which are cancellation points and makes no effort to
block cancellation. Even if it were permitted to be cancellable, its current
usage of these functions would lead to resource-leak race conditions. Test
program demonstrating the bug is attached.
