Fixed up, I'll push this if there are no further issues. Thanks, Siddhesh -->8-- No valid path returned by getcwd would fit into 1 byte, so reject the size early and return NULL with errno set to ERANGE. This change is prompted by CVE-2021-3999, which describes a single byte buffer underflow and overflow when all of the following conditions are met: - The buffer size (i.e. the second argument of getcwd) is 1 byte - The current working directory is too long - '/' is also mounted on the current working directory Sequence of events: - In sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c, the syscall returns ENAMETOOLONG because the linux kernel checks for name length before it checks buffer size - The code falls back to the generic getcwd in sysdeps/posix - In the generic func, the buf[0] is set to '\0' on line 250 - this while loop on line 262 is bypassed: while (!(thisdev == rootdev && thisino == rootino)) since the rootfs (/) is bind mounted onto the directory and the flow goes on to line 449, where it puts a '/' in the byte before the buffer. - Finally on line 458, it moves 2 bytes (the underflowed byte and the '\0') to the buf[0] and buf[1], resulting in a 1 byte buffer overflow. - buf is returned on line 469 and errno is not set. This resolves BZ #28769.
