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.
[BZ #22679]
CVE-2018-1000001
* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/getcwd.c (__getcwd): Fall back to
generic_getcwd if the path returned by getcwd syscall is not absolute.
* io/tst-getcwd-abspath.c: New test.
* io/Makefile (tests): Add tst-getcwd-abspath.
