Greetings,

Attached is a trivial fix, and a test case.

Thanks,

Sorry, missed space before parenth here.

Trying to allocate a block of INT_MAX+1 is rather likely to fail on a
32-bit platform.

But that's the only way to test for this overflow AFAICT.

Should I submit the fix without the test?
Should I submit the fix and the test, but disabled?
Should I change the test to pass if allocation fails?

Don't know for the above, but for this question:

> Should I change the test to pass if allocation fails?

I believe returning EXIT_UNSUPPORTED would be reasonable.


Note that the testcase requires not only 2GB of address space, but also
causes faults and allocation for the whole range while doing the memset;
that sounds like a fairly heavy requirement.

Personally I'd rather avoid that by mmap'ing the buffer with MAP_NORESERVE,
initializing its head/tail as appropriate, and duplicating the "aaaa..." in
the middle by mmapping over pages in the interior with MAP_FIXED.

Do people test GLIBC on machines where 2GB is heavy?

It already took me significantly longer to write the test than to write the
fix :-(

I am not sure complicating the test that much further is worth the effort,
but if people really do test on machines where 2GiB allocation succeeds,
but memset()ting 2GiB kills it, I will do it.

Thanks,

Sorry. To be clear, I didn't mean to imply an objection to the patch, just
providing an observation and a commentary how the "cost" could be reduced.
I'm not demanding the patch be updated to incorporate that, and I hope your
patch can go in soon.

And FWIW I did read the fix and I understand it to be correct: preceding code
should guarantee 0 <= n < path_max, from that we know that path_max - n does
not overflow and is positive (and will not change when promoted to size_t).

Hope that helps.

It's not unusual that writing meaningful tests is the hardest part.

100% Agreed.

If writing the test takes 100x longer than the fix it is *still* worth it.

Systems level programming is *all* about writing tests to exercise the system.

I see no current uses of $(+gcc-nowarn) in the source tree.  Rather than 
resurrecting this variable, we should remove it.  Warnings should be 
disabled as locally as possible in the sources - meaning using DIAG_* with 
appropriate detailed comments around the specific statements generating 
warnings, if possible, and failing that, with specific -Wno-* options in 
the makefile rather than the extremely blunt -w which would also hide all 
valid warnings, not just the one warning you intend to avoid on the one 
bit of code for which you intend to avoid it.

I am not sure what you mean by that.

The (stack) allocated buffer is large enough, so technically there is no
buffer overflow here (at least not in the sense that "allocated buffer was
too small"). But the stack is not large enough to hold the buffer of that
size.

Is it?  The condition is about the limit of the buffer being written,
and about overflow missing the limit.

Oops, I mixed up this patch with the other overflow (BZ 20419).
You are absolutely right. Will retest and commit shortly.
