[PATCH 1/3] binutils: Use file descriptors from make_tempname

Siddhesh Poyarekar siddhesh@gotplt.org
Thu Dec 3 14:40:55 GMT 2020


The purpose of creating a temporary file securely using mkstemp is
defeated if it is closed in make_tempname and reopened later for use;
it is as good as using mktemp.  Get the file descriptor instead and
then use it to create the BFD object.

bfd/

	* opncls.c (bfd_fdopenw): New function.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.

binutils/

	* bucomm.c (make_tempname): Add argument to return file
	descriptor.
	* bucomm.h (make_tempname): Likewise.
	* ar.c: Include libbfd.h.
	(write_archive): Adjust for change in make_tempname.  Call
	bfd_fdopenw instead of bfd_openw.
	* objcopy.c: Include libbfd.h.
	(copy_file): New argument OFD.  Use bfd_fdopenw instead of
	bfd_openw.
	(strip_main): Adjust for change in make_tempname and
	copy_file.
	(copy_main): Likewise.
