[PATCH] nss_files: Fix /etc/aliases null pointer dereference [BZ #24059]
- From: Florian Weimer <fweimer at redhat dot com>
- To: libc-alpha at sourceware dot org
- Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2019 16:54:52 +0100
- Subject: [PATCH] nss_files: Fix /etc/aliases null pointer dereference [BZ #24059]
If /etc/aliases ends with a continuation line (a line that starts
with whitespace) which does not have a training newline character,
the file parser would crash due to a null pointer dereference.
2019-01-15 Florian Weimer <fweimer@redhat.com>
[BZ #24059]
* nss/nss_files/files-alias.c (get_next_alias): Handle
continuation line without newline at the end.
* nss/tst-nss-files-alias-truncated.c: New file.
* nss/Makefile [$(build-shared)] (tests): Add
tst-nss-files-alias-truncated.
(tst-nss-files-alias-truncated): Link with libnss_files.so.
* support/namespace.h (struct support_chroot_configuration): Add
aliases member.
(struct support_chroot): Add path_aliases member.
* support/support_chroot.c (support_chroot_create): Handle
aliases.
(support_chroot_free): Free path_aliases.
