[PATCH v3] tzset robustness [BZ#17715]


This patch increases tzset robustness in various ways.   Large timezone
specifiers in the environment variable and in files are rejected, and
various file corruptions are now detected.

This patch does not include the controversial TZ scrubbing feature I
proposed.

Tested on x86_65-redhat-linux-gnu, no regressions.  (Earlier testing was
also done on i386-redhat-linux-gnu.)

Subject: [PATCH] Make time zone file parser more robust [BZ #17715]

2015-02-16  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	[BZ #17715]
	* time/tzfile.c (__tzfile_read): Check for large values of
	tzh_ttisstdcnt and tzh_ttisgmtcnt.  Reject overlong POSIX time
	zone specifiers.
	* time/tzset.c (__tzset_parse_tz): Guard against large time zone
	specifiers.
	* timezone/Makefile (tests): Add tst-tzset.
	(tst-tzset.out): Dependencies on time zone files.
	(tst-tzset-ENV): Set TZDIR.
	(testdata/XT%): Copy crafted time zone files.
	* timezone/README: Mention crafted time zone files.
	* timezone/testdata/XT1, timezone/testdata/XT2,
	timezone/testdata/XT3, timezone/testdata/XT4: New time zone test
	files.
	* timezone/tst-tzset.c: New test.

+
+* The time zone file parser has been made more robust against crafted time
+  zone files, avoiding heap buffer overflows related to the processing of
+  the tzh_ttisstdcnt and tzh_ttisgmtcnt fields, and a stack overflow due to
+  large time zone data files.  Overly long time zone specifiers in the TZ
+  variable no longer result in stack overflows and crashes.
