From 52a713fdd0a30e1bd79818e2e3c4ab44ddca1a94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Dmitry V. Levin" Date: Sun, 7 Jan 2018 02:03:41 +0000 Subject: linux: make getcwd(3) fail if it cannot obtain an absolute path [BZ #22679] Currently getcwd(3) can succeed without returning an absolute path because the underlying getcwd syscall, starting with linux commit v2.6.36-rc1~96^2~2, may succeed without returning an absolute path. This is a conformance issue because "The getcwd() function shall place an absolute pathname of the current working directory in the array pointed to by buf, and return buf". This is also a security issue because a non-absolute path returned by getcwd(3) causes a buffer underflow in realpath(3). Fix this by checking the path returned by getcwd syscall and falling back to generic_getcwd if the path is not absolute, effectively making getcwd(3) fail with ENOENT. The error code is chosen for consistency with the case when the current directory is unlinked.
