Ignore and remove LD_HWCAP_MASK for AT_SECURE programs (bug #21209)
The LD_HWCAP_MASK environment variable may alter the selection of function variants for some architectures. For AT_SECURE process it means that if an outdated routine has a bug that would otherwise not affect newer platforms by default, LD_HWCAP_MASK will allow that bug to be exploited. To be on the safe side, ignore and disable LD_HWCAP_MASK for setuid binaries. [BZ #21209] * elf/rtld.c (process_envvars): Ignore LD_HWCAP_MASK for AT_SECURE processes. * sysdeps/generic/unsecvars.h: Add LD_HWCAP_MASK. * elf/tst-env-setuid.c (test_parent): Test LD_HWCAP_MASK. (test_child): Likewise. * elf/Makefile (tst-env-setuid-ENV): Add LD_HWCAP_MASK.
